Allu Arjun was today in Bengaluru to promote the Kannada version of 'Pushpa'. The multi-lingual film will hit the screens on December 17.

Bunny thanked the Karnataka media for promoting not only 'Pushpa' but also Telugu films in general. "When I was 18 and was to Bengaluru, I never imagined that my movies would one day be accepted by people here," the Icon Star added.

He thanked Dhanunjay, the Kannada actor, who has a negative role in the movie. The 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' star also referred to Rashmika Mandanna's Kannada origins. "It's a proud moment for Kannadigas that she has become a big star in Telugu," Allu Arjun said.

"I can't thank Sukumar, my director, enough. My friend Devi Sri Prasad has given both amazing songs and amazing BGM," Bunny said.

The actor condoled the demise of Puneet Rajkumar and extended his profound sympathies to his family and fans.
