After the massive success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, Allu Arjun is carefully choosing his next film. While he was initially set to collaborate with Trivikram Srinivas, delays in the project have led to discussions with Atlee, a director known for high-octane commercial entertainers. Reports suggest that Atlee is working on a big-budget period action drama and is keen to cast Sivakarthikeyan alongside Allu Arjun in a powerful two-hero film.
Atlee’s Multi-Starrer Plans Take Shape
The script, originally written for Salman Khan, was pitched as a grand Bollywood-Tollywood crossover. However, due to budget constraints, the project was restructured and offered to Allu Arjun, as producers believed he could deliver strong box-office numbers while keeping costs controlled. Now, with Sun Pictures reportedly backing the film, the project is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious pan-India movies in recent times.
Sivakarthikeyan’s Entry: A Strategic Move
Kollywood sources reveal that Atlee is actively considering Sivakarthikeyan for the second lead. The actor, who recently gained pan-India recognition with Amaran, is currently busy with Sudha Kongara’s Parasakthi. However, reports suggest he is looking to complete his portions by May to accommodate this potential blockbuster.
Atlee is known for writing strong, larger-than-life characters, and he reportedly believes only actors with a solid fan base can do justice to the roles he has envisioned. If the deal materializes, it would mark the first-ever collaboration between Allu Arjun and Sivakarthikeyan, bridging the Telugu and Tamil industries like never before.
Sun Pictures, Music, and Other Key Details
The film is expected to be produced by Kalanithi Maran’s Sun Pictures, a studio known for delivering big-scale entertainers. The music director has not been confirmed yet, but names like Anirudh Ravichander and Sai Abhyankar are being considered.
While Allu Arjun’s preference for solo films post-Pushpa 2 is understandable, this Atlee project seems too grand to ignore. An official announcement is awaited, but if this collaboration happens, it could be a box office game-changer.
