Devi Sri Prasad Forced Allu Arjun: What Happened Next?

It is a well-known fact that Devi Sri Prasad and Allu Arjun have been very close friends and colleagues for many years now. The recently collaborate for Pushpa 2, which turned out to be another feather in their cap, as the film went absolutely bonkers at the global box office.

Coming to the topic now, Devi Sri Prasad has revealed something very interesting about the second part of Pushpa and the way in which he forced Allu Arjun about one particular decision in the film.

Apparently, after the composition and shooting of Peelings song, the makers and Allu Arjun felt that it is not fitting into the narrative of the film, and also there is substantial elongated passage for the same. So the primary decision was to remove this song from the film in the first place.

However, Devi was very persistent about this effort, and he kept persuading Allu Arjun to keep a hold of this at any cost. Reportedly Devi, even argued with Allu Arjun and stressed on having this in the final copy of the film, as he felt, it would be a great theatrical enjoyment moment for the audience.

Finally, upon the persistence of Devi, both Allu Arjun and the makers decided to keep the song in the final copy, and this turned out to be a smashing success as the song was absolutely celebrated on screens.

The kind of energy that this song brought into the film, thanks to the super energetic dance moves of Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandana was quite positive. In the end, it happened to be that the decision taken by Devi Sri Prasad to persuade Allu Arjun and the makers to keep this song in the final copy paid off very well for the film as a whole.
