Here’s how social media reacted to it. A netizen said Allu Arjun is a famous star in Nepal. A netizen pointed out that the celebration is from a Tollywood movie and not Bollywood.

#Pushpa is beyond records. A signature pose from a movie has now become a mode of celebration. This is mad stardom.

When some actors are banking on slow-motion-formulaic loud potboilers, the arrows from Allu have targeted the bullseye as if it were struck from Arjuna’s bow.
