'You're such a sweetheart': Allu Arjun's heartfelt thank-you to Ranveer Singh resurfaces as 'Dhurandhar' and 'Raaka' trend

A heartwarming exchange between two of Indian cinema's biggest stars is doing the rounds on social media once again. A throwback video from SIIMA 2022, in which Allu Arjun publicly thanked Ranveer Singh for his enthusiastic celebration of 'Pushpa' — and Ranveer in turn praised Allu Arjun's bold acting choices — has resurfaced at a moment when both actors are firmly in the spotlight. Ranveer Singh's espionage blockbuster 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' has crossed Rs. 1,600 crore in worldwide gross collections since its release on March 26, while Allu Arjun's next with director Atlee was officially titled 'Raaka' on April 8, the actor's birthday, with the first look unveiled to massive fanfare. At SIIMA 2022, Allu Arjun openly praised Ranveer Singh for celebrating the success and style of 'Pushpa.' The actor thanked Ranveer Singh for being supportive and enthusiastic. “Ranveer Singh, thank you so much, especially for being such a sport. You’re such a sweetheart,” Allu Arjun said during his speech. He added that it made him happy to see another actor perform the much feted hook steps, gestures and style from the film. “I’m very happy receiving this award, but I was equally happy to see you do all the history of 'Pushpa.' It’s like the first time I’m seeing another actor doing all the 'Pushpa' steps,” he said, expressing gratitude for the love shown by Ranveer. Ranveer Singh also acknowledged Allu Arjun's commitment and willingness to take risks while working on 'Pushpa.' Speaking about the actor’s unique style in the film, Ranveer highlighted the famous body language used by Allu Arjun’s character. “You make such a high-risk choice, right? When you keep one shoulder up in the whole movie, but then you commit to such a thing and keep it consistent,” Ranveer said. He admired how Allu Arjun maintained that character trait throughout the film. According to Ranveer, such dedication shows the actor’s commitment and confidence in his craft. This throwback moment is gaining attention again as two major films dominate conversations today. Released on March 19, 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' has been rocking at the box office, and the film reportedly grossed over Rs 1600 crore worldwide. On the other side, Allu Arjun’s next with Atlee has been titled 'Raaka,' and the first look of the film was unveiled on April 8, coinciding with the actor's birthday.
