Allu Arjun to Star in #AA23 Project Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj

A major new project has been officially announced featuring Stylish Star Allu Arjun in the lead, directed by Kollywood sensation Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film, tentatively titled #AA23, will have music composed by popular musician Anirudh Ravichander. The makers have confirmed that shooting will commence later this year and released a special announcement video to mark the occasion. The film is being produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar under the prestigious Mythri Movie Makers banner. Bunny Vas, Natti, Sandy and Swathi are serving as co-producers.

Currently, Allu Arjun is working on a high-budget science-fiction entertainer directed by Atlee, tentatively titled #AA22xA6, in which Deepika Padukone and Janhvi Kapoor play the female leads. The shooting of this film is progressing at a brisk pace. With this project nearing completion, there has been immense anticipation among fans regarding Allu Arjun’s next venture. Though there were recent speculations about a mythological film with Trivikram, no official update followed. Meanwhile, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s visit to Hyderabad and his meeting with Allu Arjun became a major talking point in the industry. It was widely expected that Lokesh would begin Kaithi 2 as part of his Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) after Coolie. However, the announcement of the Allu Arjun film indicates that Kaithi 2 has been temporarily set aside.

Sources reveal that the story of #AA23 has already been locked and script work is currently underway. After completing Atlee’s film and taking a short break, Allu Arjun is expected to join the sets of this project. The film is likely to go on floors in the second half of this year. Touted as a high-octane action drama, the movie will present Allu Arjun in a completely new and distinctive characterization. Industry buzz suggests that the actor gave his nod to the project based on his strong confidence in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s unique filmmaking style.
