Allu Arjun’s visit to Visakhapatnam turned into a massive fan event on Sunday. The actor arrived in the city to launch his new AAA Cinemas multiplex at Inorbit Mall. Fans gathered in large numbers along the Beach Road and near the mall. They blocked streets and even chased his car just to get a look at their favorite star. The actor, known for his role in Pushpa, waved at the crowd from his car’s sunroof. He also took time to click selfies with fans. The excitement was so high that traffic came to a halt in several parts of the city. Police had to work hard to control the crowd and keep things safe.
The Allu Arjun Fans Association of Vizag had planned a rally earlier. But they canceled it because the police did not give permission. A post from the fan page on Saturday evening asked everyone to cooperate. It said, “No rally or celebration by the Vizag team due to security reasons. Please cooperate and follow the security guidelines”. However, fans still found ways to show their love. They lined up on both sides of the road. Some even followed his car as it moved through the city.
A Trip Down Memory Lane for the Pushpa Star
During the event, Allu Arjun spoke about his strong connection with Visakhapatnam. He remembered the early days of his career. He said, “My association with Vizag goes back years. I never dreamt while shooting here years ago that one day a mall might come up here and I would have a multiplex there”.
The actor also shared a very relatable story. He recalled walking freely on the streets of Vizag during the shooting of his first film, Gangotri. At that time, not many people recognized him. He said, “There was a time I would roam the streets while shooting Gangotri, and now I can’t step out”. He also mentioned, “I remember walking on the streets of Vizag during my Gangotri movie days when no one recognised me. Now, I am unable to walk on streets since I have become big popular”. This shows how much his life has changed over the years. He went from being a young actor who could walk around freely to a superstar who needs security wherever he goes.
Allu Arjun Gives Raaka Update to Eager Fans
Fans at the mall kept asking Allu Arjun about his upcoming movie, Raaka. He did not disappoint them. He gave a clear update about the film’s progress. He told the crowd, “Raaka? I’ve come here from the Raaka shoot. The shooting is going on in Mumbai, and I asked for a break to come here. I said I need to go to Vizag, see my fans and return”.
This news excited his fans even more. They interrupted him several times to ask for pictures. The actor stopped his speech and let them come on stage for selfies. He was seen enjoying the moment with his supporters. He also recreated some popular mannerisms from the film, which made the crowd cheer loudly.
Raaka is a science-fiction film directed by Atlee. It is produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures. The movie stars Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles. The music is being composed by Sai Abhyankkar. According to reports, the film is expected to release in December 2027. Some reports also suggest that the makers are thinking of releasing the film in two parts because of its large story. The shoot is expected to be completed by December 2026.
Allu Arjun Launches AAA Cinemas in Vizag
The main reason for Allu Arjun’s visit was to launch his new multiplex. AAA Cinemas is now open at Inorbit Mall in Visakhapatnam. This is a big step for the actor as a businessman. He already has two multiplexes in Hyderabad. One is AAA Cinemas in Ameerpet, which he developed with Asian Cinemas. The other is Allu Cinemas in Kokapet, which belongs to his family. Now, he has brought the same premium experience to Vizag.
The new multiplex has eight screens. It features India’s first LED Projection Q-Luxon screen. This screen measures 70 feet by 30 feet. It is the largest LED cinema screen in Andhra Pradesh. The theater also has Dolby Atmos sound for a better movie experience. There is an exclusive Icon Star Lounge for recliner ticket holders. It also has a dedicated VIP entrance and premium seating. The multiplex opened for the public on August 10.
Allu Arjun’s father, Allu Aravind, and top exhibitor Sunil Narang also attended the event. Sunil Narang spoke about his long relationship with the Allu family. He said, “We share a great bonding and we are happy to extend it into theatre business too”. He added that superstars add brand value to theater chains.
