He shared that he is happy he wore what he wanted on one of the most important days of his life.He also added how, as men don’t get to play around with clothes, they can do it with accessories. “I am pretty self-assured, so I don’t need others to dictate what’s masculine or feminine. I will dictate what I can wear and nobody else,” he added.On the work front, Allu Sirish was last seen in the 2024 film, ‘Buddy’.
