Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa Raj's' style & action turns him into an 'icon star'; watch teaser

Ahead of his 38th birthday on April 8, the teaser of Allu Arjun’s upcoming film Pushpa had been released on Wednesday. The one-minute-twenty-second-long video introduced Allu Arjun's character Pushpa Raj. The teaser suggests that Allu's Pushpa Raj works as a smuggler of Red Sandalwood.

Meanwhile, it also shows a glimpse of Rashmika Mandanna, who plays the female lead in the film. While the high-octane action sequences in the jungle keep the viewers on the edge of their seats, the intriguing music adds drama to it. In the entire Pushpa Raj introduction video, the viewer gets to listen to only one dialogue, which is - "Won't back down'. The teaser ends with a birthday wish reading - "Happy Birthday to stylish star". However, later the word "icon" replaces "stylish" at the end.
