Exclusive: Ignored by NTR, Prabhas and Mahesh, Trivikram opted for Bunny

The other day a massive announcement was made about Allu Arjun – Trivikram’s pan-India project. This untitled film is going to be made on a whopping budget as the makers intend to present a visual extravaganza to the audience.

With this highly anticipated film, Trivikram is going to jump on the pan-India bandwagon for the first time in his career. Though Trivikram is one of the leading directors of Tollywood, he didn’t attempt a pan-India film till now because his style of filmmaking is heavily confined to regional flavour.

As per our exclusive sources, Trivikram initially considered doing a big-budget entertainer with NTR. However, his plans didn’t materialise as the RRR actor is busy with other commitments. He also planned to team up with Prabhas who got his platter full with a bunch of projects which are in different stages of production.

Later, he wanted to turn Mahesh Babu’s current project into a pan-India film. But, Mahesh was strictly against his idea and wanted only a regional flick. So, Trivikram has dropped his plan. But, his ambition to do a massive project was still under consideration. Then, he approached Allu Arjun and narrated an interesting script laced with mythology and fantasy. The Ala Vaikunthaporramuloo immediately agreed to work with him.

Despite getting rejected by NTR, Prabhas, and Mahesh Babu, Trivikram is very particular to mount a grand-scale project and his ambitious plans got materialised due to Allu Arjun.
