Superstar Allu Arjun has been busy with the shoot of Pushpa 2. The actor was making headlines for doing The Immortal Ashwatthama, director Aditya Dhar’s ambitious project. The film has been making news lately. After Vicky Kaushal and Ranveer Singh, the makers considered Allu Arjun for the lead role. And now, it seems Allu Arjun won’t be doing it either.
A source revealed, “Allu Arjun was in two minds from the start over signing this project. However, he still took his own time to think and make a decision. After the success of Pushpa, AA, being a Pan-India name, has become extremely cautious about his choice of scripts. Also, Allu Arjun is in talks for a very exciting project besides Pushpa 2 shoot.”
“The makers always wanted a larger-than-life hero for the film and considering it a VFX-loaded project, Allu Arjun doesn’t want to take any risks. Hence, AA has declined the project,” adds the source.
For the unversed, Allu Arjun will be reuniting with director Trivikram Srinivas for the fourth time for the tentatively called AA22, the yet-to-be-titled film is bankrolled by production banners Harika & Hassine Creations & Geetha. As we confirmed earlier, the work on the much-awaited Pan-India film will begin by December 2023 and will go on floors in mid-2024. Allu Arjun will also be seen in Pushpa 2 which will have a 2024 release.
