Allu Arjun’s AA23 With Lokesh Kanagaraj On Track

Icon Star Allu Arjun’s much-anticipated 23rd film, tentatively titled AA23, is moving forward with director Lokesh Kanagaraj at the helm. Despite a flurry of rumours on social media suggesting that the project was shelved, the team remains fully committed, and fans can breathe easy knowing the film is very much on track.

Following the blockbuster success of his previous ventures, Allu Arjun signed on for this prestigious collaboration. Lokesh Kanagaraj, currently riding high with a string of hits, is finalising the script while Mythri Movie Makers is backing the production. The pre-production phase is already underway, and casting is in progress, with plans to commence shooting after Dasara this year once Allu Arjun wraps up his ongoing film, Raaka, directed by Atlee.

Social media recently buzzed with speculation about the movie’s fate, but sources close to the production clarified that "there is no truth that the film is shelved." The director and his team are focused, and the project is on "perfect track." The makers aim to execute the shoot in swift schedules, targeting a grand release in 2027.

With Allu Arjun currently busy with Raaka, fans can look forward to more updates on AA23 as Dasara approaches and production gears up for its next big phase.
