The Story in Brief
Actor Allu Arjun set off a meme storm after he was photographed offering a namaste to his bronze statue at the inauguration of AAA Cinemas in Visakhapatnam on Sunday. The statue depicts his Pushpa Raj character, complete with sunglasses, beard, and the signature 'Thaggede Le' pose.
Social media users compared the moment to a scene from Rajinikanth's film Sivaji: The Boss. Many called it 'self-worship', while others defended the actor, noting the statue is of his iconic film character, not himself. The Pushpa franchise made Arjun a pan-India star, but the visual has proven irresistible to meme creators.
The Indian Opinion
Every Telugu star who reaches pan-India fame now gets a statue. The real story here is how quickly social media turns a harmless namaste into 'self-worship'. Fans praising Pushpa 2.0 and critics calling it ego are both missing the point: the statue is of his character, not him. Watch whether the AAA Cinemas crowd cheers or cringes at his next visit. That will settle the joke from the outrage.
