Why is Allu Arjun receiving flak after launching Allu Cinemas in Hyderabad?
Why is Allu Arjun receiving flak after launching Allu Cinemas in Hyderabad? Know here
Allu Arjun is receiving flak following the launch of Allu Cinemas in Hyderabad primarily due to the exclusion of several legendary filmmakers from the theater's "Wall of Greats".
New Delhi: Actor Allu Arjun launched Allu Cinemas in Hyderabad’s Kokapet on Thursday evening, with the presence of Revanth Reddy, the Chief Minister of Telangana.
Arjun posted a gratitude note on X and invited everyone to experience the magic of cinema at Allu Cinemas. Several clips showed the interiors of the newly launched cinema hall online.
However, a “Wall of Greats” at the theatre has now become a hot topic of discussion, with Arjun receiving flak for not including several legendary directors.
A video posted by Allu Cinemas on YouTube captures the lavish interiors of Arjun’s new cinema hall.
The Wall of Greats, spread across the venue, features pictures of numerous acclaimed directors such as S. S. Rajamouli, Sukumar, Trivikram Srinivas, Mani Ratnam, Vetrimaaran, Atlee, Rishab Shetty, Prashanth Neel, Lijo Jose Pellissery, Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, along with several international filmmakers.
Many eagle-eyed fans noticed that the Wall of Greats does not feature images of S. Shankar or Ram Gopal Varma, filmmakers popularly known with shaping the language of commercial cinema.
A section of the internet also felt that eminent Telugu directors like Puri Jagannadh, Srinu Vaitla, Boyapati Srinu, K. V. Reddy, Jandhyala, Kodanda Rami Reddy and Singeetam Srinivasa Rao should also have been included.

Putting actors’ names on the wall like this is just like printing relatives’ names on a wedding card
There will always be someone unhappy because their name isn’t there

One user wrote, “Atlee is there but Shankar isn’t. Please explain this. In Kannada, Upendra isn’t there but Neel and Rishabh are there. Moreover, in Telugu, I couldn’t spot K. Vishwanath but Sandeep Vanga is there,” commented an X (formerly Twitter) user while sharing the video.
Another wrote, “Instead of kids like Atlee, Shetty, Neel and SRV, it should be Vinayak, Puri, Vaitla.”
Another user asked, “Without RGV, how can Indian cinema exist?”
Many cinema lovers are expressing DISAPPOINTMENT that directors like S. Shankar did not get a place on the LEGENDARY DIRECTORS Wall at the newly inaugurated #AlluCinemas.
Some are also QUESTIONING the ABSENCE of RGV and Puri Jagannadh, while ATLEE has been featured on the wall. — Movies4u Official (@Movies4u_Officl) March 12, 2026
A third questioned, “What about our legendary K. Vishwanath Garu, and commercial directors like Raghavendra Rao Garu and Dasari Garu?”
Another user wrote, “KV Reddy, Vittalacharya, Singeetam Srinivasa Rao, Bapu, Raghavendra Rao, Jandhyala, Dasari Narayana Rao kuda unte baundu,” meaning it would have been nice to include those directors as well.

Others also questioned the absence of Krishna Vamsi, with one user asking, “Why is Ramya Krishnan’s husband not included?”
However, some users believed the wall featured directors Arjun has worked with or wishes to collaborate with in future. One fan commented, “The Wall of Greats means people who worked with Allu Arjun and the people Allu Arjun wants to work with.”
The Pushpa star expressed his gratitude after the grand inauguration of Allu Cinemas.
The actor penned a heartfelt note on Instagram, thanking Revanth Reddy for attending the launch.
