Can Telugu Hero Become the Next Tamil Superstar?

The Tamil film industry is going through an interesting phase. For many years, Tamil cinema had several big stars who ruled the box office. However situation is slowly changing. Vijay has entered politics, Ajith Kumar is doing fewer films and Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan are also getting older. Meanwhile actors like Suriya and Vikram are choosing different types of stories instead of following a regular commercial hero image.

Because of this, there is a discussion about who could become the next big superstar in Tamil cinema. Interestingly Telugu hero could be one of the names in this race. He is none other than Allu Arjun.

Allu Arjun already has a good fan following in Tamil Nadu. His popularity increased further after the success of the Pushpa films. His acting, dance, style and screen presence have helped him connect with audiences beyond Telugu states. He is now a familiar face among Tamil movie lovers.

Interestingly Allu Arjun is currently working with two popular Tamil directors. One is Lokesh Kanagaraj and the other is Atlee.

Atlee's upcoming film Raaka is expected to be made on a huge budget. The project has already created curiosity among movie lovers. If this film becomes a massive success in Tamil Nadu then it could take Allu Arjun's popularity to another level.

After that, his film with Lokesh Kanagaraj will also be important. If both films become box office successes then Allu Arjun could become one of the biggest non-Tamil stars in the Tamil market.

Tamil audiences have always welcomed actors from other languages when they connect with their films. Superstar Rajinikanth himself was born in Maharashtra but Tamil audiences accepted him as their own. It has applied even for Ajith. The same kind of acceptance is possible for Allu Arjun.
