If there’s any hero who has a bigger lineup of films with some stunning directors, firstly it’s Prabhas, and then it is Allu Arjun only. Both heroes have 3-4 projects on hand, and they are busy working on almost all of them without any breaks. Coming to Allu Arjun, who has dedicated lots of time to Atlee’s Raaka, will be next joining the sets of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s movie, the hyped #AA23. Here’s a spicy update about the same.

Apparently, Allu Arjun is heading to Mumbai next week for the look test and first photo shoot regarding Lokesh Kanagaraj’s movie. Undoubtedly, many things regarding the looks and script are already locked, and they are heading for the look-test just to make the first look posters, say some sources. However, when there are plenty of production and other facilities available in Hyderabad itself, many are wondering why Allu Arjun is heading to Mumbai again. Even most of Raaka’s related work also happened in Mumbai only. So, why Mumbai, why not Hyderabad?

The main thing being discussed in film circles is that if things are happening in Hyderabad, someone from the team and the PR network of the heroes itself are leaking a lot of details to the media. Within a short time, things are coming up on social media, and by the time the first look or glimpse comes out, every single detail is already leaked, and the excitement is coming down. For that reason, these days, many big stars are shooting in Mumbai such that there will be no leaks at all.
