Prabhas or Mahesh: Allu Arjun Casts His Vote for the Best Hero

Icon Star Allu Arjun has kicked off promotions for Pushpa-2 by appearing as a guest on the popular show Unstoppable, hosted by Nandamuri Balakrishna. During the show, Balakrishna asked Allu Arjun a series of lighthearted questions. When asked if he preferred romance or action, Allu Arjun responded that he enjoys both, especially the combination of action and romance found in his film Pushpa.

Balakrishna also asked Allu Arjun who his favorite heroine was, to which Allu Arjun humorously replied that he was initially worried the question would be about male actors. Then Balakrishna asked whether he preferred acting with Pooja Hegde or Rashmika Mandanna, and quickly admitted he preferred Rashmika. Allu Arjun agreed, saying he also enjoys working with Rashmika.

When Balakrishna inquired about whom he considered as his competition, Mahesh Babu or Prabhas, Allu Arjun answered diplomatically, implying that he doesn’t see anyone as his competition. He added, “The only one who could surpass me tomorrow is my future self.”

Allu Arjun praised Mahesh Babu’s comebacks, stating, “Everyone talks about his good looks, but what I personally admire are his impressive comebacks after failures. That’s something I truly respect about him. He is a true cinema lover who has elevated the standards of Telugu cinema.”

When asked about Prabhas, Allu Arjun warmly referred to him as a “six-foot treasure,” showing his admiration for Prabhas’s humble and grounded nature. Speaking about Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun expressed deep respect for his fearless and straightforward personality, saying, “Regardless of what anyone thinks, he stands firm in his beliefs and does what he feels is right. I admire his courage. He’s one of the most daring individuals I’ve ever seen.”
