The long hair is gone! Allu Arjun sported a new look as he celebrated Makar Sankranti with his wife Sneha Reddy and kids Ayaan and Arha on Tuesday. 

Arjun has been sporting a scruffy look with long hair and a heavy beard for a while now, which was his look for Pushpa 2. The film was released in December and shattered box office records and became a blockbuster in the subsequent days. But the film's release also led to controversy and the tragic death of a woman in Hyderabad, and Arjun was also dragged in the case. 

The actor, however, looked upbeat on Tuesday as his wife, Sneha Reddy, shared images of their family's celebrations. 

The actor was seen in a white traditional kurta pajama as he posed with his wife and kids. Wishing everyone, Sneha wrote the caption, "Happy Sankrathi ❤ #2025"
