Talking about his initial days, the actor had stated at an event, "Gangotri was a hit but I didn't look great, so good films didn't come my way. The film was a blockbuster but it's my failure as an artiste that I couldn't make a mark. I went from 0 to -100, I was a nobody." Ironically, Allu Arjun is now called as 'Stylish Star'.
