One thing to note is that none of Allu Arjun's flicks have made it into the top ten. pushpa, his most recent film, is also not on the list. Some allu arjun detractors are asking, "Where is Mallu arjun in the top ten list?" They are mocking the fact that a non-star cast film like Kantara reached the list yet allu arjun films like Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and pushpa are missing. Others believe that even if he had some control over kerala in the past, he has lost it now.
Allu arjun supporters argue that because there were so many new entrants in the top ten this year, allu arjun films were dropped. They believe pushpa 2 would easily enter the top three due to Allu Arjun's popularity and the film's buzz.
