Allu Arjun marked his 44th birthday on April 8 with family love and massive fan crowds outside his Hyderabad home. The event mixed joy and tension as police used lathi charges to control thousands of excited supporters.
Fans flooded the streets near Allu Arjun’s Jubilee Hills residence from the night before. They chanted his name, held placards and gifts, and lit phone flashlights to celebrate. The huge crowd pushed barricades, making it hard for security to manage, so police stepped in with lathi charges to avoid harm.
Allu Arjun came out late at night to wave and smile at the fans. Many wore costumes from his hit films like Pushpa. His brother Allu Sirish shared a video of the scene on Instagram, writing, “Happy birthday @alluarjunonline. May you always be celebrated like this.”
Stars sent warm messages on social media. Rakul Preet Singh called him her “absolute favourite” and wished more power and success. Jackky Bhagnani praised his humility, saying he is one of the nicest in the industry.
Venkatesh Daggubati revealed the title of Allu Arjun’s next film, Raaka, with a fierce poster showing a bald, beast-like look. He wrote, “Happy birthday, dear Allu Arjun! Looking fierce in #Raaka.” Pragya Jaiswal and others also shared excitement for the project.
Choreographer Jani Master and Sophie Choudry posted throwbacks with birthday notes. The frenzy showed Allu Arjun’s huge stardom, but it highlighted crowd control challenges at such events.
