Arya was made with a meager budget of Rs 4 crore, and it went on to gross over Rs 30 crore worldwide. The film paved the way for one of the most successful actor-director duos in Telugu Cinema, Allu Arjun and Sukumar. Anu Mehta and Siva Balaji played key roles in the movie, while DSP composed a winning soundtrack. The film’s sequel, Arya 2, was released in cinemas in 2009 and ended up being a decent grosser.
