Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is a Telugu language film directed by Trivikram Srinivas and produced by Allu Aravind and S. Radha Krishna. The film stars Allu Arjun in the lead role of Bantu and Pooja Hegde as his love interest. Tabu, Jayaram, Sushanth, and Nivetha Pethuraj play supporting roles in the film.
The story is set in a multimillion-dollar company called Vaikunthapurramuloo, owned by a successful businessman, Ramachandra (played by Jayaram). Bantu, played by Allu Arjun, is an employee of the company, who is overlooked by his father, Valmiki (played by Murali Sharma). Valmiki, who works for Ramachandra, discriminates against Bantu and treats him badly, causing Bantu to seek validation from his cold-hearted father.
Meanwhile, Ramachandra's son Raj (played by Sushanth) is a shy and introverted young man who lacks confidence, which disappoints his wealthy father. Fate brings Bantu and Raj together, leading to a series of unexpected events that change their lives forever. Bantu's bold and adventurous personality inspires Raj, who learns to stand up for himself and become more assertive. Valmiki eventually realizes his mistake and reconciles with Bantu, and Ramachandra comes to appreciate the qualities that make his son unique.
The movie is a blend of comedy, romance, and action, and features a popular soundtrack composed by S. Thaman. Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo was released in January 2020 and was a critical and commercial success, grossing over ₹ 262 crore worldwide.
