After delivering memorable on-screen chemistry in Duvvada Jagannadham and the blockbuster family entertainer Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde could be reuniting for yet another big-ticket film. Industry buzz suggests Pooja Hegde is being considered as the leading lady in Allu Arjun’s upcoming project with director Lokesh Kanagaraj.
While an official announcement is still awaited, sources indicate that discussions are underway and the actress is among the frontrunners for the female lead. If everything falls into place, the popular pair could share screen space once again.
Meanwhile, Allu Arjun is currently occupied with the shooting of Raaka, directed by Atlee. Even as the actor remains busy, Lokesh Kanagaraj has quietly begun groundwork for his ambitious next project, tentatively referred to as AA23.
Although shooting is not expected to commence immediately, the director has reportedly initiated pre-production and is planning a series of look tests for Allu Arjun. Since the actor has been spending most of his time in Mumbai for the filming of Raaka, he is said to have requested Lokesh to conduct the look tests there itself. As a result, Mumbai has become the base for the film’s initial pre-production activities.
Known for his meticulous planning, Lokesh is reportedly making the most of the waiting period by completing key aspects of the project in advance. Script development, music sittings, character design and look tests are all progressing simultaneously, ensuring that the film can go on floors without delay once Allu Arjun wraps up his commitments to Raaka.
If Pooja Hegde officially comes on board, the reunion of one of Telugu cinema’s most-loved on-screen pairs under Lokesh Kanagaraj’s direction is expected to generate tremendous excitement among fans
