Stylish star Allu Arjun accepted 'ICON' under the direction of Venu Sriram long back but the failure of 'Naa Peru Surya' made him put that project on hold and work on 'Ala Vaikunthapuramlo' which turned out to be a blockbuster.
He is currently working on Sukumar's 'Pushpa' and he is likely to start 'ICON' after finishing his current film. But sources say that the future of 'ICON' is in the hands of Venu Sriram's upcoming film 'Vakeel Saab'.
Venu Sriram directed 'Oh My Friend' and 'MCA' till date. His first film was a box-office failure while his second ran on Nani's stardom. Now, he got a big opportunity of handling Pawan Kalyan with 'Vakeel Saab'. This may be a remake but people are eager to if Venu Sriram has it in him to handle the star heroes.
Everything goes as planned if 'Vakeel Saab' becomes successful but in case the film fails, Allu Arjun may not show interest in working with Venu Sriram and look for other directors. So, 'Vakeel Saab' is a litmus test to Venu Sriram. Hope he becomes successful and kick-starts 'ICON' soon.
