Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Aarya (2004)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Allu Arjun was picked to play the lead in Sukumar's directorial debut after the makers considered Ravi Teja, Nithin and Prabhas for the part.
- The song "Aa Ante Amalapuram" was such a success that it was later adapted for the 2012 Hindi film Maximum.
- Arya was remade five times: as Badha (2005) in Bengali (Bangladesh), Pagala Premi (2007) in Odia, Pagal Premi (2007) in Bengali, Adaraye Namayen (2008) in Sinhala and Kutty (2010) in Tamil, and was followed by a spiritual sequel, Arya 2, in 2009.
- Arya gave Allu Arjun a major breakthrough in his acting career and earned his director Sukumar recognition in Telugu cinema.
- Sukumar had his hero confess his love at the very start of Arya, unlike Darr (1993), Kabhie Haan Kabhie Naa (1994) and Kaadhal Kondein (2003), where the protagonist's feelings surface only at the end; he called that idea obsolete.
