Allu Arjun may be stamping his authority on screen at the Indian cinema box office. But away from the arc lights, he is also known for his kind-hearted nature and strong commitment to environmental and social causes. In a move to give back to society and drive social change, Allu Arjun has supported HPV Vaccine Awareness Programmes across India through his Allu Arjun Fan Association (AAFA). The icon star’s fan community is turning traditional cinema fandom into grassroots social action through large-scale public health and welfare campaigns. They have recently taken up the HPV Vaccine Awareness campaign to the grassroots and have reached more than three lakh girls across eight states.

AAFA’s social initiatives

The AAFA team has been carrying out the initiative on a large scale, reaching communities at the grassroots level through HPV Vaccine Awareness Programmes. Around 820 events have been conducted across eight states (Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Odisha, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands) and Union Territories. Leveraging participatory fandom culture and coordinated social media campaigns, AAFA has been actively working towards social justice initiatives.

Celeb fan clubs have slowly shifted their collective energy from standard matinee idol admiration towards conducting and organising social awareness campaigns. And AAFA is proof enough of how to channelise their collective efforts towards meaningful social causes.

AAFA lauded for social change

And as part of their efforts towards greater awareness of cervical cancer prevention, the Solapur team successfully conducted an HPV Vaccine Awareness Programme at Nillakanteshwar High School in Solapur district. The programme focused on educating students about the importance of HPV vaccination, prevention, and the significance of protecting future generations from HPV-related diseases.

Netizens are appreciating AAFA and their efforts to encourage informed conversations around HPV vaccination. Describing the initiative as a reflection of their strong sense of responsibility, social media users are asking Allu Arjun’s fans to continue and keep up the good work.

With Daayra’s release just a week away, the hype around it continues to amplify. The National Award-winning filmmaker Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra will feature an ensemble of stars, including the protagonists Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Both of these police officers, while on the same side of the law, have their individual means of handling justice.

Prithviraj Sukumaran recently had a conversation with Yuvaa alongside his co-star, Kareena Kapoor Khan. During this interview, he took the time to discuss important topics such as the evolving expectations of the audience and the impact of good writing, among others. 

While he covered a lot of important topics, one particular statement left a lingering curiosity. A topic popped up highlighting exactly which type of films could spark interest amongst the audience.

Kareena Kapoor Khan discussed how she likes to choose different types of roles to avoid being typecast and that she feels privileged to have worked with various talented directors. Meghna Gulzar expressed how one doesn’t need to be a woman to give the female characters a powerful voice. The topic then steered towards how pairing a young actor with an actress could potentially boost the success of the film. Kareena mentioned how the newer audience looks forward to better scripts and narratives.

Prithviraj, however, felt differently, giving an apt example to illustrate his point. He said, “If Sanjay Leela Bhansali makes a film with Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha, I will definitely watch first day first show.” The other participants in attendance also agreed with his statement.

The official and only music video for Daayra, Sach Ka Daayra, was released on September 10, 2026, composed by Amit Trivedi, written by Gulzar, and sung by B. Praak.

Daayra will be released on September 18, 2026.
