Allu Arjun and Sai Dharam Tej come from the mega family and rose to fame in Telugu cinema. In recent times, there were rumors of a distance between them. It started during the 2024 Andhra Pradesh elections. Allu Arjun visited Nandhyal to wish YSRCP candidate Shilpa Ravi. This did not go down well with some Janasena supporters and mega fans.
Reports later said this created tension in the family. Sai Dharam Tej even unfollowed Allu Arjun on social media. Fans noticed he also stopped commenting on Allu Arjun’s films. It looked like the gap was real.
After a while, Sai Dharam Tej finally spoke about Allu Arjun publicly. On Saturday, he attended Fast & Curious – The Auto Expo 2025, organized by Student Tribe. He spoke to students about road safety, social media abuse, and shared how wearing a helmet saved him in a past accident.
During the interaction, students mentioned Telugu stars. Sai Dharam Tej recalled his memories. About Pawan Kalyan, he said he is his mentor who guided him in kickboxing and other skills. About Prabhas, he said he is humble and sweet. He also said he hopes to share the screen with Mega Star Chiranjeevi.
When asked about Allu Arjun, Sai Dharam Tej said, “What can I say about him? He is a superb actor. Now he’s the biggest star in India and one of the greats. I’m very happy and proud of his work.”
