Allu Arjun lost Rs 25,000 because of Chiranjeevi’s iconic veena step
Allu Arjun, a well-known admirer of Chiranjeevi, expressed surprise at having lost Rs 25,000 due to the megastar's iconic veena step. The actor revealed this incident during the Mega60 celebration, recalling a bet he had made many years ago. When participating in a wager, Allu Arjun bet Rs 25,000 that Sonali Bendre would be standing next to Chiranjeevi during a particular sequence in the 2002 film Indra.
Disregarding his focus on Chiranjeevi's performance, Allu Arjun lost the bet when he realized Sonali Bendre was indeed in the scene with Chiranjeevi. This iconic veena dance step, performed by Chiranjeevi in the film, has become legendary and widely imitated in Telugu cinema. The bet was placed on the 16th rewatch of the movie, where Allu Arjun was so engrossed in Chiranjeevi's performance that he failed to notice Sonali Bendre's presence.
Born into a family connected to Chiranjeevi, Allu Arjun has long been a dedicated fan, crediting the megastar as his idol.
