Director Atlee, known for his blockbuster Bollywood debut “Jawan” starring Shah Rukh Khan, is set to helm another major project. Following the massive success of “Jawan,” which earned over Rs. 1160 crore worldwide, Atlee has become a prominent name in commercial cinema. His next venture has generated significant excitement, especially with the announcement of Allu Arjun as the lead actor.
Initially, this big-budget action movie with a reincarnation theme was supposed to feature Salman Khan. However, due to concerns over investing a substantial amount following Khan’s recent box office performances, the producers, Sun Pictures, decided to cast Allu Arjun instead.
Allu Arjun’s Rising Stardom
Allu Arjun has emerged as a huge star across India, particularly after the success of “Pushpa 2.” His fan base has expanded significantly, even in North India. Given his rising popularity, the producers believe he is the ideal choice for this ambitious project.
Budget and Cast Details
The film was initially planned with a Rs. 600 crore budget, but with Allu Arjun’s involvement, the cost may increase. Reports suggest that Arjun received Rs. 300 crore for “Pushpa 2,” and he might command an even higher fee for this film.
The movie will feature three female leads, with Janhvi Kapoor being a top contender for one of the roles. Another major actor is expected to join the cast, though their name has not been announced yet.
Production Timeline
Reports indicate that Allu Arjun has agreed to the film, and Atlee is planning to start pre-production by April or May. Filming is expected to commence later this year. This movie promises to be a grand, action-packed entertainer, with high expectations from both the director and the lead actor.
With Atlee’s expertise in high-energy action films and Allu Arjun’s massive fan following, this collaboration is poised to be a major box-office success. More updates on casting and production details will be revealed in the coming months.
