After stirring a storm of controversies, Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde's film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is all set to release in Hindi dubbed on February 13.

'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo', which also has Pooja Hegde and Tabu playing lead roles, was directed by Trivikram Srinivas, and produced by Allu Aravind. It follows the life of Allu Arjun's character, Bantu who is hated and neglected by his father. He later learns that he was swapped as an infant and his biological father is an affluent businessman.
'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' is the famous line from the fifteenth-century Telugu Vaishnava poet Bammera Pothana's mythological story 'Gajendra Mokshanam', where Lord Vishnu comes down to save Gajendra, the elephant king, from Makaram, a crocodile.
The Telugu original, released in 2020, emerged as one the highest-grossing Indian films of that year.
