Tollywood sensation Allu Arjun is set to work with blockbuster director Atlee on a mass action entertainer with a bang. After the humongous ₹1800 crore box office hit of Pushpa 2, Bunny is prepping for an even bigger experience with this eagerly awaited film.
Earlier, Trivikram Srinivas was to direct Allu Arjun’s upcoming film. But the project has now been shelved, paving the way for Atlee’s directorial effort. Interestingly, it is reported that the story was initially penned for Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, but because of funding issues, the project did not take off. This provided the opportunity for Allu Arjun to enter, with his huge pan-India appeal driving the film.
Adding to the buzz, this soon-to-be-released film is said to have a significant supporting role, and the producers are looking at a Kollywood superstar to play the role. The latest industry rumor has it that Sivakarthikeyan is in consideration for the role, and talks are on. If he comes aboard, this pairing of Bunny and SK will generate massive buzz among Telugu and Tamil viewers, promising to be a high-voltage experience for the cinema.
The movie is likely to be a high-budget extravaganza, supported by the illustrious Sun Pictures. In the meantime, for the music, the team is contemplating Anirudh Ravichander or Sai Abhyankar, with a robust and energetic score.
With Atlee’s latest Bollywood blockbuster Jawan having solidified his position as the king of commercial cinema, his collaboration with Allu Arjun is set to break box office records. Devotees have been waiting impatiently for a formal announcement, including Bunny’s appearance, title of the movie, and entire star cast.
Will Sivakarthikeyan sign on officially, or will a new biggie step in to play the part? Watch this space for the latest buzz on this pan-India action extravaganza!
