Allu Arjun graced the pre-release event of 'Lovers Day' as the chief guest. He received a cheerful welcome from the film's cast and crew, all of whom said that they admire the Mega hero a lot.

"We all know how much 'Kolaveri Di' video went viral years ago. Later, 'Why did Kattappa kill Baahubali?' became such a huge sensation. And then came the 'wink video' from this film. I am crazy about south Indian cinema. I describe myself as a south Indin actor. I am proud of where I come from. I was born in Chennai, brought up in Hyderabad, people from Kerala are loving me. Malayali people have received me warmly for years now. I felt I have to welcome them today when they are releasing their movie in Telugu. Priya Varrier and Roshan Abdul have brought so much buzz around the movie," he said.

"Vinod Reddy was one of the stakeholders of 'Naa Peru Surya'. After the film failed, so many did make noise. But Vinod alone was silent. I always stand by the people who stand by me. I am here today also for him," Bunny added.

"Lovers Day is releasing on February 14. Valentine's Day has always excited me since I was 14. I have celebrated it every year since then," he signed off.
