Bandi Saroj Kumar shared, “Some fans think I criticize Allu Arjun, but many of them only discovered him recently. I got to know the real Bunny during the release of Arya.” He continued by expressing his admiration for the film and the actor. He mentioned that after watching the morning show of Arya, he was so impressed that he decided to watch it again in the evening with ten of his friends.

During the second show, Allu Arjun and his team also attended but couldn’t find seats and were standing in a corner. In the theater, a person sitting next to Bandi Saroj left his seat during the interval. Allu Arjun noticed the empty spot and sat down. However, when the original seat holder returned, despite recognizing the actor from the screen, he rudely gestured for Allu Arjun to leave.
Saroj Kumar further explained, “Even though I wanted to offer my seat to Bunny, I was too shy to do it. What stood out to me was how Allu Arjun handled the situation with humility. He got up, apologized to the person, and quietly left. At that moment, I knew he had the qualities to become a star.”
Bandi Saroj concluded by expressing his admiration for both Megastar Chiranjeevi and Icon Star Allu Arjun, stating that he is a huge fan of both.
