Fresh off the massive success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, Allu Arjun is now the subject of new speculation—this time about a possible name change. Reports suggest that the actor might alter his name to “Alluu Arjunn,” allegedly on the advice of numerologists.
Rumors indicate that Arjun is considering adding an extra “U” and “N” to his name, a move that some believe is aimed at attracting positive energy and overcoming recent controversies. While sources close to the star have neither confirmed nor denied these claims, the chatter has fueled curiosity among fans and industry insiders.
In the past, Bollywood actors like Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkummar Rao have tweaked their names based on numerology, hoping for better luck and career growth. If Allu Arjun follows suit, it could be a strategic attempt to reset his public image and fortunes.
Despite Pushpa 2’s record-breaking success, Arjun’s 2024 was not without turmoil. The film’s Hyderabad premiere at Sandhya Theatre turned tragic when a stampede led to a woman’s death and multiple injuries. This resulted in an FIR against the actor, naming him Accused No. 11, along with his security team and theatre management.
Though he secured interim bail and was later exempted from routine police appearances, the controversy sparked media scrutiny and public debate. Some speculate that the name change rumors are an attempt to move past this incident and reframe his public persona.
Regardless of the name change buzz, Allu Arjun remains focused on his next big projects.
He is set to team up with Jawan director Atlee for a high-budget action drama and will reunite with Trivikram Srinivas for a mythological film, where he is rumored to portray Lord Karthikeya. Meanwhile, Pushpa 3 was teased in the end credits of Pushpa 2, confirming that the franchise is far from over.
Whether he remains “Allu Arjun” or embraces “Alluu Arjunn,” one thing is certain—his every move continues to command attention.
