Allu Arjun's dialogue promo from upcoming film
Naa Peru, Surya Naa Illu India failed to fetch the 'impact,' he had hoped for because his "Twitter bio" contradicts the sentiment he backs in the promo. In the scene, Allu Arjun's character beat up goons who called him "south Indian bugger" and said, "North India... South India... East or west... We don't have so many Indias dude... Only one India." Of course, Twitter enjoyed the patriotic fervor but a (rather astute) section of the social media noticed that Allu Arjun's Twitter bio read - "South Indian Actor." Between many congratulatory messages, a comment read: "Thanks, can you change your bio hypocrite!"

My Name Is Surya, My Home Is India, is directed by Vakkantham Vamsi.
