Allu Arjun said that nobody offered him work even after the success of his debut film 'Gangotri', directed by Raghavendra Rao. "Rao delivered a superhit, but I didn't deliver as an actor," stated Allu Arjun. He said that 'Pushpa' director Sukumar offered him his debut film 'Arya', adding, "There has been no looking back since then."
