The greetings were accompanied by a picture from the sets of their film 'Pushpa', showing Allu dressed as his character while sharing the frame with Sukumar.

Allu Arjun and Sukumar have worked together on multiple films, including the 'Arya' and 'Pushpa' franchises - projects that became major milestones in Telugu cinema.

Meanwhile, actor Ram Charan also wished the filmmaker on his birthday on Instagram and wrote, "Happy Birthday to my dearest @aryasukku. Have a wonderful year ahead. Waiting to see you on the sets very soon."

Sukumar's last directorial outing, 'Pushpa 2: The Rule', was released in 2024, emerging as a big hit at the box office. A sequel to 2021's 'Pushpa: The Rise', the film featured Allu Arjun in the lead, alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, Sunil and Rao Ramesh.

The filmmaker is expected to return for the third instalment of 'Pushpa'.

Sukumar's career began in 1998 as a screenwriter before making his directorial debut with 'Arya' in 2004. The film, which starred Allu Arjun in the lead role, marked the beginning of a successful collaboration between the director and the actor, continuing with the Pushpa franchise, which has become a global sensation.
