Sukumar on his bond with Allu Arjun

Sukumar started his directorial career with Allu Arjun`s popular film Arya. “From Arya, I have seen his growth as a person, and as an artist. The bond that we share stems from an exchange of creative energy. We discuss strongly about his performances, and he gives it all to ensure even the slightest of expressions, like the movement of an eyeball, or the quiver in the voice is perfect. Darling, I did the film just for my love for you,” said Sukumar.
