Allu Arjun-Atlee film: This Tamil hero’s name pops up for the second lead role

Icon Star Allu Arjun is riding high on the success of Pushpa 2: The Rule. The actor was supposed to make a film with Trivikram right after Pushpa 2, but now, the star is looking to take up Atlee’s film. The story was initially written for Bollywood Megastar Salman Khan, but due to budget issues, it eventually went to Allu Arjun.

Atlee’s film with Allu Arjun is a period saga, and the project also has scope for another protagonist. A Kollywood media report speculated that Sivakarthikeyan might play the second lead role in this big-ticket entertainer. The Amaran actor is now busy shooting for Sudha Kongara’s Parasakthi.

The word is that Sivakarthikeyan asked Sudha Kongara to wrap up all his portions by May at any cost since he has two mega-budget projects in his hand. Sudha Kongara is said to have planned the shooting schedules accordingly.

Is Atlee planning to bring Allu Arjun and Sivakarthikeyan together in this warrior saga? Only time will tell us that. Kalanithi Maran will likely bankroll this period action drama under the banner of Sun Pictures on a whopping budget. Either Sai Abyankkar or Anirudh will compose the tunes.
