Allu Arjun is all set to collaborate with director Atlee for a massive pan-India period drama with a reincarnation theme. Backed by Sun Pictures, the film boasts an enormous budget of over Rs 600 crore, making it one of the most expensive Indian films ever. This ambitious project will feature two male leads, with the second actor yet to be finalized. Additionally, three leading heroines will be part of the film, with Janhvi Kapoor reportedly in talks for one of the roles.
A Film Bigger Than Expected
The project gained momentum after Trivikram Srinivas’s mythological film with Allu Arjun faced delays. Instead of waiting, Allu Arjun decided to move forward with Atlee’s film, which is now being fast-tracked. Pre-production is set to begin between April and May 2025, with shooting likely to start in the second half of the year. The film is expected to release in summer 2026.
Atlee, known for blockbusters like Jawan, spent months finalizing his next project. Initially, reports suggested that Salman Khan would lead the film, but Sun Pictures preferred Allu Arjun, who was their first choice. There were also discussions about casting Hollywood star Will Smith, but his high remuneration led to the idea being dropped.
A Visual Spectacle with a Unique Story
This untitled period saga promises to be Atlee’s biggest film yet, surpassing his previous works in terms of scale, storytelling, and visual appeal. The reincarnation theme, combined with Atlee’s signature mass entertainment style, is expected to offer a unique cinematic experience.
While Allu Arjun gears up for Pushpa 2’s grand release, this project ensures he maintains his momentum without a long break. With a dream team behind the film, fans can expect a cinematic spectacle like never before.
