Icon Star Allu Arjun is gearing up for a busy slate of films, with Pushpa: The Rule currently taking center stage. Following the completion of this highly anticipated sequel, he is set to begin working on a film with director Trivikram. In addition, the actor has committed to a project with Kabir Singh director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, which is expected to be a pan-India release.

Amidst these big projects, Allu Arjun is also reportedly in talks with renowned directors Atlee and Nelson Dilipkumar. According to sources, his film with Atlee may materialize sooner than expected. Recently, Allu Arjun met Atlee in Mumbai to personally congratulate him on the massive success of Jawan. Interestingly, there were rumors that Arjun was supposed to make a cameo in Jawan, a role that was eventually played by Sanjay Dutt.

The discussions between Allu Arjun and Atlee reportedly began before Jawan. After seeing the film’s blockbuster success, Arjun was fully convinced to greenlight their collaboration. Industry insiders are now buzzing that Atlee’s film might become Allu Arjun's next, even ahead of his planned project with Trivikram. The shooting for this Atlee-Allu Arjun combo is likely to kick off in the summer of next year.

By then, Pushpa 2 will have wrapped up production, allowing Arjun to focus on Atlee's project, which is expected to be produced by Sun Pictures with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Following this, the Trivikram project will get underway, making for a power-packed schedule for the Icon Star.

Allu Arjun’s collaboration with Atlee is highly anticipated, promising to bring together two powerhouses of Indian cinema for a project that could have a pan-India appeal.
