Allu Arjun, the stylish star of Telugu cinema, is all set to return with his highly anticipated film Pushpa 2. Fans are eagerly waiting to see him reprise his iconic role of Pushpa Raj in the sequel. The shooting for Pushpa 2 is almost done, and the film is expected to hit theatres on December 6. Originally, the film was supposed to release on August 15, but due to incomplete work, the release date had to be pushed back.
After Pushpa 2, fans are curious to know what Allu Arjun’s next project will be. Surprisingly, despite being one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema, there is no clear answer. Let’s take a look at some of the rumors and possibilities surrounding his next big film.
Waiting for the Next Move
Many big actors usually announce their next movie even before completing their current one, but that hasn’t happened in Allu Arjun’s case. Though rumors have been flying about possible collaborations with different directors and producers, nothing concrete has been confirmed yet.
Reports suggest that Allu Arjun is in discussions for several films, but there have been delays or issues in finalizing projects. He has been approached by several directors, including Trivikram Srinivas and Atlee, but so far, no deal has been sealed. It’s unusual for a star of his stature to not have a clear plan after a massive project like Pushpa 2.
The Pushpa 3 Possibility
While Pushpa 2 is set for release, there are already talks about Pushpa 3. Some parts of Pushpa 3 have reportedly already been shot. However, whether Pushpa 3 will happen or not depends on how Pushpa 2 is received by the audience. If the sequel performs well, fans can expect another installment in the series, but it won’t be released for another two years.
Failed Talks with Atlee
One of the most talked-about rumors is Allu Arjun’s potential collaboration with director Atlee, known for films like Mersal and Jawan. The two were reportedly in talks to work together, but the project didn’t take off. The reason? Atlee’s high demand for fees. Allu Arjun wasn’t happy with the financial demands, so the deal fell through. Atlee is currently busy with Salman Khan’s next project, which further delayed the chances of them working together.
Discussions with Nelson Dilipkumar
Another possibility is that Allu Arjun may collaborate with Jailer director Nelson Dilipkumar. However, there is a catch here too. Nelson is already committed to Jailer 2, and his pre-production work for the film is ongoing. The shooting for Jailer 2 is set to begin next year, so even if Nelson directs a movie with Allu Arjun, it will take time to start.
Trivikram as the Final Option?
Amidst all these uncertainties, one name keeps coming up—Trivikram Srinivas. Trivikram and Allu Arjun have previously worked together on hit films like Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, and they share a good rapport. Trivikram is reportedly working on a script for Allu Arjun’s next film, which will be a pan-India project. While nothing has been officially confirmed, this could be Allu Arjun’s next big project after Pushpa 2.
If the film with Trivikram happens, it will be on a grand scale, with expectations for it to be a massive hit. Trivikram is known for his unique storytelling, and fans are excited to see what kind of film the two will collaborate on this time.
Bollywood Discussions
There have also been reports that Allu Arjun has been in talks with several Bollywood directors and producers. However, these discussions haven’t led to any major announcements yet. Allu Arjun is said to have been unimpressed with some of the scripts that were pitched to him, which is why no Bollywood collaboration has been finalized.
Sukumar’s Break After Pushpa 2
Director Sukumar, who helmed the Pushpa franchise, will reportedly take a break after the release of Pushpa 2. He has plans to work with Ram Charan on a new project once he returns. This means that while there is a possibility of Pushpa 3 happening, it won’t be anytime soon.
In the meantime, Allu Arjun will have to decide on his next project, and it seems like his best option at the moment is to work with Trivikram. Whether they move forward with a new film or whether something else comes up remains to be seen. Fans are waiting eagerly to see what Allu Arjun chooses as his next big venture after Pushpa 2.
