Icon star Allu Arjun's speech at the grand inauguration impressed everyone. He said “I’d like to thank Megastar Chiranjeevi Garu for attending Allu Studios’ grand opening. It’s amazing to see my father’s ever-growing love for his father. The reason we built this studio was to honour and respect our grandfather, Allu Ramalingaiah garu.”

The inauguration took place on Allu Arjun’s grandfather's birth anniversary. The late Ramalingaiah was an Indian Telugu comedian from Palakollu who appeared in over 1000 Telugu language films. He was also a Padma Shri awardee for his outstanding contribution to Telugu cinema as a comedy actor in the year 1990. He is the second awardee of Padmashri after Relangi in 1970.

His statue was also unveiled at Ramakrishna Beach in Visakhapatnam and in his home town Palakollu. On the work front, Allu Arjun is all set to treat the fans with another installment of his Pushpa Raj avatar in Pushpa: The Rule.
