Another Star Hero Linked to Allu Arjun's AA23?

Allu Arjun's much-awaited collaboration with Atlee continues to remain one of the biggest projects in Indian cinema. With more than three months of shooting still pending and extensive post-production work ahead, the makers are taking their time before announcing a release date. Reports also suggest that scenes featuring Deepika Padukone are being completed first, while rumors about Shah Rukh Khan making a cameo in the film have been denied.

Meanwhile, speculation surrounding Allu Arjun's next project with Lokesh Kanagaraj, tentatively titled AA23, has also been addressed. Industry buzz indicates that reports of Shahid Kapoor joining the cast are unfounded, and claims about Pooja Hegde being finalized as the female lead are also said to be inaccurate. Once Lokesh completes promotions for DC, work on AA23 is expected to gather momentum.
