Fresh out of the success of ‘Pushpa 2’, Allu Arjun is reportedly gearing up for his next film. Buzz is that the actor, who was set to begin work with director Trivikram Srinivas, might have a change in his schedule owing to some delays. Reports state that the actor will now likely commence work on filmmaker Atlee’s next.
Allu Arjun, who has long expressed interest in working with Atlee, will not join forces with the director for a movie that is said to be a high-octane commercial entertainer.
Meanwhile, speculation is rife that Janhvi Kapoor is a front-runner to play the female lead in the project. Janhvi gained recognition among Telugu audiences for her performance in the Chuttamalle song from Jr NTR’s ‘Devara’. She is also set to star in Ram Charan’s upcoming film directed by Buchi Babu Sana. While rumours are rife that the actress will now star opposite Allu Arjun in his next commercial entertainer, there is no confirmation about the same.
News about Janhvi landing the leading lady’s role, comes just a month after she was seen partying with Atlee’s wife Priya Atlee at her birthday party. The actress was among the young Bollywood stars in attendance at the starry do which was also attended by her sister, Khushi Kapoor, beau Shikhar Pahariya, actor Veer Pahariya and actress Kajal Aggarwal among others.
While Allu Arjun is rumoured to be starring in Atlee’s next, buzz is that the director is also in talks with Salman Khan to shoot an action film. The big-budget film tentatively titled A6, will reportedly feature the Bollywood superstar opposite screen legend Rajinikanth.
