Allu Arjun has emerged as India’s highest-paid movie star, commanding a staggering paycheck of ₹200 crore. Following the massive success of Pushpa 2—which has now become the second-highest grossing Indian film of all time after Dangal—the market for his upcoming movies is witnessing phenomenal growth. His popularity and fan frenzy have reached unprecedented heights.
However, despite his career high, Allu Arjun is facing emotional and mental strain. The recent stampede incident at Sandhya Theater, followed by his controversial arrest by the Revanth Reddy-led government and subsequent release on bail, left him deeply disturbed.
In light of these challenges, Allu Arjun is considering a quieter, more peaceful life away from the public eye. Sources close to the actor reveal that he sees Dubai as the ideal retreat—a place to unwind without external stress. He is reportedly planning to purchase a home in Dubai and shift his family there in the coming years.
While Hyderabad will remain his professional base, especially for movie shoots, Dubai could soon become his primary residence. The Gulf city’s luxurious lifestyle and secure environment are major draws for the actor.
Allu Arjun wouldn’t be the first Telugu celebrity to invest in Dubai real estate. Superstar Mahesh Babu recently acquired a villa there, although he treats it purely as an investment and has no plans to relocate. Megastar Chiranjeevi also purchased a villa for his daughter Sreeja, who is expected to move there with her children.
Bollywood’s Shah Rukh Khan has long been associated with Dubai, owning a lavish villa on the iconic Palm Jumeirah, valued at over Rs 100 crore. His elite neighbors include global icons like David Beckham. Likewise, India’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, bought two multimillion-dollar villas on the Palm in 2022.
Other celebrities such as John Abraham, Sanjay Dutt, Vivek Oberoi, and singer Sonu Nigam have also made Dubai their home. For Indian stars, Dubai offers more than just real estate—it represents a lifestyle of luxury, safety, and global sophistication.
