However, it is worth mentioning that a similar walking style was previously showcased by the late actor Srihari in the film Prudhvi Narayana, which was released in 2002.
A particular scene featuring Srihari has now resurfaced on social media sparking debate whether the makers of Pushpa had copied the mannerism from the movie.
Undoubtedly, the movie Pushpa, helmed by director Sukumar and featuring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles, has emerged as a resounding success.
Interestingly, Pushpa: The Rise found greater acclaim in Hindi-speaking regions compared to its reception in Telugu and elsewhere in the southern States.
