The dialogue has somewhat become the identity of pride and has been used by politicians during rallies and other occasions. ## The "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo" actor went on to say that he's been working in the film industry for 20 years now, and this is the first time he's ever received an award from the north so it's very special for him. He also said that despite the difference between the north and south, as far as the cinema is concerned, he is glad that "Pushpa" brought people to theaters across India and was celebrated by the entire country.## The actor will now start the shooting of the second part of Pushpa, titled Pushpa - The Rule. The shoot of the movie will start after Diwali and it will release in later 2023. ## Icon StAAr @alluarjun receives #IndianOfTheYear award, the first south Indian actor to do so. Hosted by @CNNnews18, the award was given by Hon Minister @smritiirani. Dedicating his award to covid warriors, the actor, who brought people back to theatres with #Pushpa, called it 1/2 pic.twitter.com/7MFTnrWEyD— Ramesh Bala (@rameshlaus) October 13, 2022 ##
