Director Surender Reddy, Allu Arjun to team up again after hit film 'Race Gurram': Reports

Allu Arjun is one of the most bankable stars in the Indian film industry who has proved his acting mettle with many blockbuster films. One of his most loved movies is the 2014 Telugu film Race Gurram, helmed by Surender Reddy, which was widely entertained by the masses. Now, the actor-director duo is reportedly set to collaborate again for a new project. 

According to a report by Pinkvilla, filmmaker Surender Reddy has begun working on a new script for the Pushpa star. A source close to the development revealed that the project is not a sequel to Race Gurram but a completely new one. However, the final call will be on Allu Arjun if he would want to do the film or not. 

The source revealed, "Surender Reddy has started working on a script for Allu Arjun, which is based on a new subject and not a sequel to Race Gurram. The basic idea was conceptualised long back. However, Allu Arjun will decide on doing it only after he is completely satisfied with the final script."

Currently, Surender Reddy is reportedly focusing on the writing process of the upcoming film as he wants his second collaboration with Allu Arjun to be the "biggest" cinematic spectacle. Moreover, the filmmaker also has a movie with Pawan Kalyan in his kitty, which is currently on hold due to the actor's busy schedule.
