According to a report by Pinkvilla, Allu Arjun confirmed that it was indeed him in the viral 2017 video.

This friend of the actor will also be joining him on the talk show.

He shared anecdotes about spending time with fellow actors Chiranjeevi and Mahesh Babu. He also recalled his mischievous childhood, during which his mother would scold him often, but he never changed. The actor revealed that it was only after the 'weapon' named Sneha Reddy came into his life that he adopted a more disciplined lifestyle.

The 42-year-old also shared that he had been striving to win a National Award for a long time, and Pushpa helped him achieve that goal. He said, "In the history of National Awards, no Telugu actor has ever won. I was hurt to see that. That's when I decided to win it."

The episode featuring Allu Arjun will be divided into two parts. Earlier, the show had hosted actors Suriya and Bobby Deol, who came to promote their film Kanguva.
