Allu Arjun, who was supposed to attend several post-release success events with pride, is facing an all-around attack from powerful politicians.

However, if we closely look, the project Pushpa 2 wasn't an easy journey for him. Though director Sukumar and Allu Arjun worked together for three long years on this project, it was Allu Arjun who suffered the most, as Sukumar was never ready to finalize the film's copy.

At one point, the differences escalated to such a level that Allu Arjun, out of frustration with Sukumar, trimmed his beard-a key element of his Pushpa character.

Pushpa 2 was originally slated for release on August 15 to capitalize on the holiday season, but Sukumar failed to deliver the final copy.

But these speculations are futile, as the film was postponed and released in December, leaving Allu Arjun to face his destined challenges.
