Allu Arjun to drop Ashwatthama post Adipurush fiasco?

Allu Arjun is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in the country. The Pushpa actor has been in talks with filmmaker Aditya Dhar for his Bollywood debut with a high-on VFX action film, Ashwatthama. However, post the release of Adipurush and the backlash it faced, Allu Arjun is now being extra cautious about the promises made by Aditya Dhar.

“The VFX is a matter of concern now for all Telugu stars. They want to do simple films with filmmakers and trust only Rajamouli on the VFX front. Seeing what happened to Adipurush, Allu Arjun is now in two minds to trust a relatively new director with such an ambitious subject. He might decide against doing Ashwatthama now,” a source revealed.

Aditya Dhar’s Ashwatthama is his second bollywood film after his debut in URI. “Ashwatthama is a risky film and Allu isn’t sure if he is willing to invest so much time in an outcome that he would know 2 years from now. Hence, it’s better to be cautious than sorry. He will take a final call on Ashwatthama soon, but it seems like he isn’t inclined towards it.”

Meanwhile, Ashwatthama is among the most ambitious Bollywood films planned for a two-parter on a budget of over Rs. 500 crores. It’s produced by Jio Studios with Aditya Dhar.
