Allu Arjun's Next: Superhero Saga or Star Power?
14 Jan
Summary
- Allu Arjun eyed for Lokesh Kanagaraj's superhero film 'Irumbukai Mayavi'.
- Aamir Khan was initially approached for the same superhero project.
- Allu Arjun also set to star in Atlee's dual-role action entertainer.
Allu Arjun's star power has surged, making him a national icon following 'Pushpa 2'. Now, he is reportedly in talks for Lokesh Kanagaraj's ambitious superhero film, 'Irumbukai Mayavi,' potentially inspired by the DC character Steel Claw. This project was previously offered to Aamir Khan, signaling a dynamic shift in pan-Indian casting.
Before the Lokesh development, Allu Arjun announced a collaboration with director Atlee for his 22nd film, tentatively titled AA22 x A6. This project will feature Allu Arjun in dual roles, a signature of Atlee's grand spectacles. Deepika Padukone has already joined the ensemble cast, with other actresses also reportedly on board.
If the 'Irumbukai Mayavi' collaboration materializes, it would signify a significant genre shift for Indian cinema, aiming for a star-led, culturally rooted superhero franchise. The pairing of Lokesh Kanagaraj's gritty style with Allu Arjun's charismatic presence could create a unique cinematic experience that India has rarely achieved on a large scale.
