Allu Arjun in ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’, directed by Trivikram Srinivas

Speculations of actor Allu Arjun collaborating with director Atlee have been on for a while in film circles. Y Ravi Shankar, one of the producers of Mythri Movie Makers, which produced the blockbuster films Pushpa – The Rise and Pushpa – The Rule, confirmed the development. 

He was answering a question during a media interaction for Mythri’s new Telugu film Robinhood, starring Nithiin and Sree Leela, in Hyderabad. To a query on when Pushpa 3 or Pushpa – The Rampage is expected to release, Ravi Shankar stated that Allu Arjun will next be working on director Atlee’s film, followed by a film with director Trivikram Srinivas, before Pushpa 3. He stated that in the meantime, director Sukumar will wrap up a film with actor Ram Charan.

Ravi Shankar said Allu Arjun and Sukumar are likely to reunite for Pushpa 3 in 2027 and the film can be expected in 2028.

Atlee’s collaboration with Allu Arjun will mark the director’s entry into Telugu cinema. Trivikram Srinivas and Allu Arjun have earlier delivered blockbuster hits Julayi, S/O Satyamurthy and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.
