The teaser of Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa was released at the first meet event on the eve of his 38th birthday yesterday. The actor spoke at length in Telugu and English and the emphasis was on Telugu films garnering popularity across regions and also on the resounding success of pan-Indian films like Baahubali and KGF. He also enticed his fans with his unique histrionics and by repeatedly delivering 'Thaggedhe le' dialogue from the teaser.

What's surprising Mega-Power fans is that Allu Arjun ignoring Pawan Kalyan's Vakeel Saab that is releasing on April 9, a day after his 38th birthday and two days after the first meet event of Pushpa. Insiders say when Allu Arjun has taken an opportunity to speak about Baahubali and Kannada star Yash's KGF, what stopped him in extending his best wishes to Pawan Kalyan and his Friday release Vakeel Saab.

Allu Arjun failing to take notice of Pawan Kalyan's film has angered Powerstar fans, who started trolling him for his willful ignorance. They allege that Allu Arjun has cashed in on the popularity of Pawan Kalyan on multiple occasions and now that his comeback film is drawing closer to the release, he didn't even bother to wish their favourite actor luck.

However, this is not the first time Allu Arjun has stoked a controversy with reference to Pawan Kalyan. He has provoked Pawan Kalyan fans by saying 'Cheppanu Brother' at one of the promotional events of his film and ever since, the fans of Powerstar are taking a dig at him. Once again at Pushpa first meet event, Bunny gave Pawan Kalyan fans a chance to troll him for snubbing Vakeel Saab!

Another theory doing the rounds is that Allu Arjun is also miffed with Dil Raju, the producer of Vakeel Saab, for putting him in a fix over Sriram Venu's long-delayed film Icon.
