Allu Arjun continues to ride high, with his calendar already packed thanks to the much-talked-about "Raaka" helmed by Atlee and another anticipated collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj. But as per industry grapevine, the actor’s next big move may just be with Malayalam sensation Basil Joseph.
Rumours around this fresh pairing have been swirling for months, but things picked up steam after Basil posted a cryptic image featuring the word “Icon”—a not-so-subtle nod that sent fans into a frenzy. While neither Allu Arjun nor the production house have officially confirmed the partnership, the buzz suggests the deal is inching toward reality. Insiders hint that Geetha Arts is likely to bankroll the venture, which is expected to be mounted on a grand scale.
Importantly, Basil Joseph clarified earlier that this new film isn’t linked to the long-speculated Shaktimaan project. With Basil’s star rising after the success of "Minnal Murali", and his juggling act between acting gigs and directorial commitments, this cross-industry collaboration is generating plenty of chatter. If the project does materialise, it will only kick off after Allu Arjun wraps his current shoots. For now, fans are left eagerly watching for that official green light.
