Hyderabad: Allu Arjun, the famous star of the Pushpa films, has become one of the biggest names in Indian cinema. However, his strict rules for meetings with media representatives have recently gone viral on social media. Kaveri Baruah, a former brand strategist at Royal Enfield, shared her experience in a podcast. She said that before meeting Allu Arjun, her team received a list of 42 rules to follow. These included instructions like not making eye contact with the actor and not shaking hands.
