Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are in full swing across the country. Devotees have brought different types of idols of the elephant-headed God to their homes to celebrate the ten-day-long Ganesha Festival. Interestingly, many people have chosen to celebrate the festival in a filmy way.
Allu Arjun’s look from ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ has inspired Lord Ganesha statues. On Tuesday, several images and videos of a Ganpati idol went viral, where the deity can be seen sitting in a white kurta-pyjama similar to how Arjun wore in the film. The statue also performed Pushpa’s signature hand gesture from the film.
“#GanpatiBappaMorya. Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa’ is creating new heights of stardom for the actor as Lord Ganesha idols,” a social media user commented.
However, there’s a section of social media users who did not like the idol makers’ creativity.
“I think he is Lord Ganesha, we are all treating like that only. But why are people doing these type of things, don’t you even know that he is a god. When you are the Allu Arjun sir fan please keep it over to yourself and don’t do these types of things,” a netizen tweeted.
“What’s this nonsense? I can’t believe this. I know you are fan of Allu Arjun but what is this man. You are mocking Lord Ganesha,” another one wrote.
‘Pushpa: The Rise is a Telugu film directed by Sukumar, which was released in December 2021. The film, which also starred Rashmika Mandanna, emerged out as a blockbuster. The film’s sequel is currently in pipeline.
