一 | Post the global success of Pushpa, Allu Arjun has been treading a cautious path! The icon star, as he’s fondly called by his fans, has been circumspect about his subsequent moves. After a lot of dilly-dallying, Allu Arjun zeroed in on Atlee’s sci-fi thriller which the actor has been shooting for in Mumbai. While the shooting is mid-way, reports about his next film have been doing the rounds. Allu Arjun yet to finalize Allu Arjun intends to complete his film with Atlee by 2026 summer, and take his next film on floors by end of that year. As part of the reports have emerged that he had zeroed in on director Lokesh Kanagaraj. But the truth of the matter is that he has been in discussion with as many as five top directors – Sanjay Leela Bhansali to Prashanth Neel to Nelson Dilipkumar, Basil Joseph and Lokesh Kanagaraj – all of them have met and narrated storylines to Allu Arjun. According to sources close to the actor, he had not finalized any director yet. “Allu Arjun wanted to do stories that have universal appeal; his idea is to expand fanbase in various countries by approving scripts that attract the hinterland. Although he is excited with story ideas of a couple of directors, he wanted to give himself some time to finalize. He hasn’t signed any film yet, but intends to take it up close to wrapping up the shooting for Atlee’s large-scale, pan-Indian science-fiction action-fantasy film – that way he gets a perfect picture on his mounting appeal.” Global collaborations Allu Arjun has been very ambitious about collaborating with global technicians for his films. Teaming up with Studios in the West for VFX and roping in choreographers and artists from the South-East for Atlee’s film indicates his aspirations for wider appeal.
