Allu Arjun in talks with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, SS Rajamouli and others for 5 major projects: Report

Allu Arjun next film

After the massive success of Pushpa: The Rise and Pushpa 2: The Rule, Allu Arjun’s stardom continues to scale new heights.

The National Award-winning actor has firmly established himself as one of India’s biggest pan-Indian stars, and the latest reports suggest that he may soon collaborate with some of the most celebrated filmmakers in the country, including Sanjay Leela Bhansali, SS Rajamouli, and Prashanth Neel.

According to a report by Telugu 360, Allu Arjun is currently in discussions for five major projects, with top directors such as Bhansali, Rajamouli, Neel, Boyapati Sreenu, and Koratala Siva. While none of these collaborations have been officially confirmed, the rumours have already sent fans into a frenzy.

A possible film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been in conversation for nearly a year. Earlier this year, Allu Arjun was spotted outside SLB’s Mumbai office, sparking intense speculation online. Industry sources suggest that both have been exploring a script together since before Pushpa 2: The Rule went into production. If confirmed, this would mark Allu Arjun’s debut collaboration with the Padmaavat filmmaker.

Besides, Boyapati Sreenu, who previously directed Allu Arjun in Sarrainodu, is reportedly planning to develop Sarrainodu 2 once he completes Akhanda 2. The actor’s father and producer, Allu Aravind, recently hinted that the sequel could be made under their home banner, Geetha Arts.

Meanwhile, KGF and Salaar director Prashanth Neel is said to have initiated talks with the actor, alongside producer Dil Raju. However, Neel’s packed schedule, which includes Dragon and Salaar 2, might delay the potential collaboration.

Adding to the excitement, Allu Arjun has also reportedly had early discussions with SS Rajamouli. Though the filmmaker is currently occupied with SSMB29 starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, the idea of a future project between the RRR director and the Pushpa star has thrilled fans.

Koratala Siva, who has already narrated a script to the actor, is another name in the mix, with plans to collaborate once Allu Arjun wraps up his current commitments.

Currently, Allu is busy filming his next big venture with Atlee, working title AA22xA6. The film, slated for a 2027 release, is being described as one of the most ambitious Indian projects to date.
