The Allu family and Pawan Kalyan had a fallout after the rout of the Praja Rajyam Party way back in 2009. Since then, their relations have only deteriorated further.
But there was a phase when both sides were immensely proud of each other and talked about how they admired each other in public. Speaking at an event related to Allu Arjun's 'Happy', Pawan Kalyan said that the one person he was indebted to after his parents and Megastar Chiranjeevi was Allu Aravind.
In the 2000s, Geetha Arts was a bigger force than it is today. At that time, Dil Raju was still carving his path, especially in the mid-2000s when 'Bommarillu' was still in the making. Today's major banners like Mythri Movie Makers were not even born. Allu Aravind was a force to reckon with in the Telugu film industry. 'Jalsa' in 2008 was produced by Allu Aravind. The stamina of a Pawan Kalyan movie with great songs was proven by this Trivikram directorial.
