Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan showered accolades upon National Film Award-winning actor Allu Arjun, expressing his enthusiasm for how Allu Arjun's dance move in the song 'Srivalli' quickly went viral on the internet.
The song, sung by Javed Ali and featuring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, is part of the Telugu action drama film 'Pushpa: The Rise.'
In episode 62, host Amitabh Bachchan welcomed Ipsita Das, a rollover contestant from Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, to the hot seat. For a chance to win Rs 20,000, the contestant faced the question, "Who was honored with the National Film Award for Best Actor in 2023?"
The options provided were Rajinikanth, Mammootty, Allu Arjun, and Rishab Shetty. The correct answer was Allu Arjun.
Amitabh remarked, "Allu Arjun received the award for his role in the film 'Pushpa: The Rise,' which was released in 2021. However, due to the pandemic, the award was delayed for two years before he finally received it. Have you seen 'Pushpa'?"
The contestant responded, "Yes, sir."
The actor continued, "Isn't it a wonderful film? His performance was outstanding. I witnessed something unique for the first time in my life, a slipper coming off during a dance and going viral."
The contestant added, "It's an iconic step."
Big B shared, "And everyone who imitated his dance move started by taking off their slippers. 'Oops!' Then they would put them back on and continue dancing. It became incredibly popular."
'Kaun Banega Crorepati 15' airs on Sony.
