Lokesh Kanagaraj To Reunite Allu Arjun-Pooja Hegde In AA23?

Allu Arjun has lined up two of the biggest films in Indian cinema after the blockbuster success of Pushpa 2. He is currently busy with the shooting of Atlee's Raaka, which features him alongside Deepika Padukone. One of the looks in the film will see Allu Arjun as a werewolf. On his birthday in April, the Telugu star announced his much-awaited collaboration with director Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Lokesh was expected to work on the delayed Kaithi sequel with Karthi. After the underwhelming reception of Rajinikanth starrer Coolie, the director was said to be putting focus back on LCU, and line up Kaithi 2 and Vikram 2 apart from a separate, rumoured spin-off on Suriya's character Rolex. However, on April 8, Lokesh and Allu Arjun's untitled film, whose music will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander, was formally announced.
