Following the massive success of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule,’ pan-Indian star Allu Arjun is set to join hands with director Atlee for his highly anticipated next. In a thrilling development, reports suggest that the actor made a big deal for this project with director Atlee and Sun Pictures.
Buzz around the project suggests it will be an ambitious, large-scale film set in a ‘parallel universe.’ Currently, pre-production is reportedly in full swing, with details about the cast and crew expected to be revealed soon.
Meanwhile, according to Pinkvilla reports, Allu Arjun has signed a record-breaking deal worth Rs. 175 crore with Sun Pictures, making him the highest-paid actor in India. Additionally, the Pushpa actor will receive a 15 percent profit stake as part of a backend agreement, marking the biggest front-end deal ever made by an actor in modern cinema. He is expected to dedicate bulk dates to this much-awaited project. It is also reported that the film will go on to the floors between August and October 2025, depending on the progress of pre-production work.
Sources reveal that despite innovative visuals and a unique concept, the screenplay will have Atlee’s signature style, featuring a powerful introduction block with high-impact elevation moments and mass appeal elements. The project is shaping up to be the most ambitious venture for both the director Atlee and the actor Allu Arjun.
Up next, Allu Arjun is also set to reunite with Trivikram Srinivas for their fourth collaboration, with filming anticipated to commence in mid-2026.
