Social media has recently been buzzing with speculation about Allu Arjun’s upcoming 23rd film, with reports claiming that the much-awaited project with acclaimed Tamil filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj had been shelved. However, the latest information indicates that there is no truth to these rumours.
The project remains very much part of Allu Arjun’s upcoming lineup. The makers are reportedly working on the pre-production quietly, with the team avoiding unnecessary publicity at this stage.
Allu Arjun is currently occupied with Raaka, and the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial is expected to move into production after he completes his current commitment. The filmmakers are said to be using this time to prepare the project before taking it to the shooting stage.
The film has already generated considerable curiosity, particularly because of the combination of Allu Arjun and Lokesh Kanagaraj. Adding to the excitement, the theme composed by Anirudh Ravichander for AA23 received a strong response online. The track gained further attention after even Prime Minister Narendra Modi used it in one of his Instagram posts.
Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, AA23 is expected to be mounted on a large scale. Given the popularity of its lead actor, director and music composer, the film is among the projects being closely watched by Telugu and Tamil cinema audiences.
For now, fans can put the rumours of a split between Allu Arjun and Lokesh Kanagaraj to rest. The project is reportedly progressing behind the scenes, and more official details are expected to emerge once the makers are ready to reveal them.
