Actor Sai Pallavi, who became an overnight sensation with her Malayalam film Premam, has cemented her place in Telugu cinema with back-to-back blockbusters, Fidaa and MCA. The Kotagiri girl currently awaits the release of Padi Padi Leche Manasu, a romcom that also stars Sharwanand, this Friday. The film's pre-release event was held with actor Allu Arjun as the chief guest, on Monday. The Race Gurram actor was all praise for Sai Pallavi and said he was blown away by her dance moves in her debut Telugu film, Fidaa.

"I started admiring Sai Pallavi after I watched her Malayalam film, Premam. She is a wonderful performer and what amazes me are her dance moves. I was in awe of her Vachindee...song from Fidaa and I can't remember how many times I have watched that number only for her dance moves," said Arjun.

The actor also expressed his wish to dance with her in a film. "If we ever do a film, I want to dance with her rather than just do a scene," he said.

Calling Sharwanand a self-made hero, Allu Arjun wished the team of Padi Padi Leche Manasu all success.

Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri, Padi Padi Leche Manasu is pitted against Varun Tej-starrer Antariksham 9000 KMPH this Friday.
