Actor Allu Arjun, one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema, seems to be widening his directorial collaborations beyond Telugu cinema. After Prabhas and Jr NTR, Arjun too, appears keen on working with filmmakers from other industries. Following the announcement of the ambitious AA22 with director Atlee, recent reports suggest that he is now in talks with Minnal Murali director Basil Joseph for a superhero film.
According to a report by Gulte, Arjun was impressed by a script narrated by director Basil Joseph and is reportedly keen to take it forward. If the project materialises, it will be produced by Allu Aravind under the Geetha Arts banner, with music by Jakes Bejoy.
While there is no official confirmation yet, some reports also suggest that the Basil Joseph project could be a superhero film. Social media buzz has speculated it might even be a reboot of Shaktimaan, a project previously linked with Ranveer Singh. Others reports also indicate that it was only a narration, but they are doing another superhero film not Shaktimaan.
Previously, Allu Arjun’s post-Pushpa 2 line-up included films with directors Trivikram Srinivas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga. However, those plans seem to have shifted. The mythological epic with Trivikram, based on Lord Karthikeya, has reportedly been handed over to Jr NTR. Meanwhile, Vanga is occupied with two major films, Spirit with Prabhas and Animal Park, the sequel to Animal starring Ranbir Kapoor.
Though there is no official confirmation yet, a collaboration between Allu Arjun and Basil Joseph would mark a fresh and intriguing pairing.
