Allu Arjun stunned one and all with his performance in Pushpa 2, as the film created new records at the box office. For months together, there was speculation as to which director—Trivikram or Atlee—would take the film on floors. Finally, on his birthday, Allu Arjun announced his biggie with Atlee, and Sun Pictures is bankrolling the film on a massive scale.
Well, we at OTTplay have some interesting updates regarding the pre-production of the film. As per the latest update, Allu Arjun and Atlee had a concept photoshoot in Mumbai the other day. One of the sources close to the actor has revealed to us that various looks were tried on Allu Arjun, and the shoot went on till the wee hours of the night.
Allu Arjun will be seen in a very stylish avatar in this film, unlike Pushpa 2, where he sported a rugged look. As the film has the concept of outer space and other planets, the news is that Allu Arjun will sport different looks in the film. The source also goes on to add that the film has a character of a 12-year-old, and auditions for the same happened in Mumbai.
The look test happened in the famous Mehboob Studios in Mumbai, and not many were even aware of it. Atlee is quite keen to take Indian cinema to the next level, and he has tied up with reputed studios in the US for the post-production of the film.
Allu Arjun will be seen in a completely contrasting role in this film, and his look test hinted that he has a role of a person from outer space. Though this news is yet to be confirmed, it has become a talking point in film circles.
Atlee last directed Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, and it was a smash hit. The Theri director has now teamed up with the Arya 2, Race Gurram, and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo actor for a biggie, and there are massive expectations for the project.
Lastly, the source goes on to add that if the pre-production wraps up on time, Atlee will take the film on floors in the month of June 2025. Stay tuned for more updates on this project. Stay tuned for more updates on this biggie.
