Icon Star Allu Arjun has been navigating a complex relationship with Mega fans after distancing himself from the "Mega" brand and forming his own fan base, Allu Arjun Army. His association with the YSRCP during Andhra Pradesh elections stirred controversy, especially since his uncle Pawan Kalyan was also contesting in the elections.

Allu Arjun's open support for the YSRCP candidate sparked backlash from Mega fans, leading to a visible division between the Mega and Allu camps in the industry.

This separation traces back further. During a movie event, when fans urged Allu Arjun to talk about Pawan Kalyan, he firmly responded, "I won't, brother," which many interpreted as distancing himself from the Mega family. From then on, Allu Arjun focused on building his own brand, independent of the Mega legacy.

Social media became a battleground, with intense fan wars erupting. Supporters of Pawan Kalyan and Mega fans clashed with Allu Arjun's loyalists, fueling the divide. Some fans speculated that Allu Arjun’s shift in stance could be linked to Pawan Kalyan’s public support for ticket price reforms in the film industry, which indirectly benefited Pushpa 2: The Rule.

However, things seem to be changing. At the recent Pushpa 2: Wildfire Success Meet in Hyderabad, Allu Arjun publicly expressed gratitude to Pawan Kalyan. He said, “Thank you to AP Deputy CM Shri Pawan Kalyan garu, who was the main reason for JIVO to increase the ticket prices. I personally thank Kalyan Babay too. You touched my heart.”

This heartfelt acknowledgment took fans by surprise, and the video of Allu Arjun’s speech quickly went viral on social media. Mega fans have responded positively, with many commenting, "You have changed, sir!" This public expression of respect could signal a much-needed reconciliation between the two fan bases, bringing hope for a more united front in the Telugu film industry.
