Allu Arjun, Atlee to collaborate on a big-scale action drama after Pushpa 2?

Even as Allu Arjun fans and film-goers await the release of Pushpa: The Rule, the much-anticipated sequel to boxoffice blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise, Allu Arjun has been busy with other film commitments too. Earlier this year, it was reported that Allu Arjun is collaborating on a project with Telugu filmmaker Trivikram for an action-drama. Now there are rumours about Arjun’s collaboration with another major filmmaker who has recently acquired pan-Indian fame. 

Atlee-Allu Arjun to kick off by end of 2024?

According to a Pinkvilla, some sources close to the production state that the Tamil director Atlee and the Pushpa actor have been in talks for a while, and things are moving in the right direction. The said report also states that Atlee intends to start shooting the project sometime towards the end of 2024, which is when Allu Arjun is available as well. The said project will reportedly feature Allu Arjun in a never-seen-before avatar. 

In a more exciting update, if everything goes well, the Atlee-Arjun project will reportedly take off before Allu Arjun’s film with Trivikram. Atlee, who earlier became a popular name all over India for his action film Jawan, is also producing Varun Dhawan starrer next, which also features Wamiqa Gabbi and Sai Pallavi. 

Allu Arjun won National Award for Pushpa: The Rise

Earlier this year, Allu Arjun hogged the limelight by winning the much-coveted National Award for his performance in Pushpa: The Rise. The film had released in December 21, and had emerged to be a major box office success. Its Telugu success was followed by a release of its Hindi version, which too did very well at the box office, especially at a time when biggest of Hindi films were struggling to bring the audience back to theatres in a post-CoVID scenario.
