While everyone sees the actors living a luxurious life, very few know about their initial struggles and how they made it to the top. One of the actors, who is now a superstar, once struggled to find work because of his looks. The actor we are talking about was criticised for his looks in his debut film and even though the film was a hit, he couldn’t get more offers due to his looks.
He is none other than Allu Arjun. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Allu Arjun (@alluarjunonline) Allu Arjun is now a pan-India star. The actor enjoys a huge fan following not only in the Telugu film industry but also in the north.
He is the son of Allu Aravind, a well-known producer in the Telugu film industry. Allu Arjun completed his schooling at St. Patrick's School in Chennai and later pursued a degree in Psychology at MSR College, Hyderabad.
After completing his studies, the actor worked as an animator/designer and for that work, he earned Rs 3500 as his first salary. However, he left the job for acting and made his debut with the film Gangotri in 2003, directed by K Raghavendra Rao. The film though became a success at the box office, the actor didn’t get work because of his looks.
He revealed in an interview, “Gangotri was a hit but as I didn’t look good I didn’t get good film offers. Although the film was successful I felt like I had failed as an artist because I couldn’t make a significant impact on anyone. It felt like I went from 0 to low and I was a nobody.
