PM Modi Uses AA23 Theme Song in Instagram Post; Allu Arjun and Fans React

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent Instagram post featuring a photograph of him receiving the Order of the White Double Cross (1st Class) in Bratislava has drawn significant attention from Tollywood fans and celebrities. The post's audio featured the 23 Theme song, composed by Anirudh Ravichander for the upcoming Telugu film AA23, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Allu Arjun. In his caption, Modi wrote, "Honoured to receive The Order of the White Double Cross (1st Class) in Bratislava. I dedicate this award to the enduring friendship between India and Slovakia."

The use of the film's theme song generated considerable engagement on the platform. Allu Arjun acknowledged the post by liking it, as did composer Anirudh Ravichander and several other celebrities including Riddhima Kapoor. Allu Arjun's fans expressed enthusiasm in the comments section, with numerous GIFs and references to the film flooding the post. One fan commented, "We got Modiji using Anirudh music in his post before GTA VI," while others referenced the film's informal title "bhAAi," playing on Arjun's initials and the film's working title.

AA23 represents a major collaboration in Indian cinema, announced officially in January 2026 after weeks of speculation. Producers Mythri Movie Makers declared it "A Collaboration that will be Eternal in Indian Cinema." The 23 Theme song, which features lyrics credited to "Heisenberg" and vocals by "Hector Salamanca," has gained substantial traction on social media platforms, particularly Instagram Reels. When Allu Arjun announced the project, he expressed excitement about working with director Lokesh Kanagaraj and composer Anirudh Ravichander for the first time.

Allu Arjun is currently one of Telugu cinema's biggest stars, having spent five years collaborating with director Sukumar on the Pushpa franchise, which concluded with Pushpa 2: The Rule in 2024, becoming one of the highest-grossing films in Indian cinema. Beyond AA23, Arjun is also set to star in a high-budget sci-fi film titled Raaka, directed by Atlee and produced by Sun Pictures, alongside Deepika Padukone.
