Speaking at the inauguration, Allu Arjun revealed that he had specifically requested a day off from the team of his upcoming film ‘Raaka’ to attend the event. “I requested the Raaka team to give me a day off since I had to visit Vizag for the theatre inauguration,” the actor said, as reported by Deccan Chronicle. He also took a nostalgic trip down memory lane and recalled his early days in the city. “I remember walking on the streets of Vizag during my Gangotri movie days when no one recognised me.
