Allu Arjun-Atlee film update: Kajol in talks to play a key role, here's what we know

Allu Arjun is currently busy shooting for his much-anticipated new film under the direction of Atlee, and the project has already become one of the most talked-about films in Indian cinema. 

Is Kajol playing a key role in Allu Arjun's next?

The action drama features Deepika Padukone as the female lead, and reports suggest that Mrunal Thakur and Janhvi Kapoor will also be seen in key roles. Adding to the growing excitement, the latest buzz is that popular Bollywood actress Kajol has been approached to play an important character in the film.

According to sources close to Allu Arjun, discussions with Kajol are currently underway, though nothing has been officially confirmed yet. If Kajol gives her nod, it would be a major casting coup for the makers, as her presence would add considerable gravitas and emotional depth to the narrative. 

Fans are eager to see how this potential collaboration shapes up, especially given the scale of the project. Director Atlee is riding high on the massive success of Jawan, and expectations are sky-high regarding how he will present Allu Arjun in this action-packed entertainer. 

The film is being mounted on a grand scale, with some of the biggest Hollywood VFX companies reportedly working on it. Interestingly, while earlier reports suggested that the film would be made as a single-part project, it has now been confirmed that it will be released in two parts, further increasing anticipation.

The music for the film is being composed by Sai Abhyankar, and this marks the biggest project of his career so far. With a star-studded cast, cutting-edge visual effects, and a director known for delivering mass entertainers, the film has become a major talking point across industries.

Allu Arjun is currently enjoying the phenomenal success of Pushpa, which has elevated him to global icon status. Naturally, audiences are keen to see what kind of role he chooses next. 

Allu Arjun's next is with Lokesh Kanagaraj

Beyond the Atlee film, the actor has an exciting lineup ahead, including a high-octane action drama with Lokesh Kanagaraj. He is also in talks for projects with Trivikram Srinivas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, all of which are expected to materialize soon.

For now, Kajol’s possible inclusion in the Allu Arjun–Atlee project remains the biggest buzz. It will be interesting to see if this casting comes through in the days ahead.
