Allu Arjun Locks Next Film With Lokesh Kanagaraj; Here's The Plot

Icon Star Allu Arjun is enjoying a golden phase in his career after the blockbuster success of Pushpa 2: The Rule. The film has taken his popularity to the next level, not only in India but also across international markets. His fan base has grown rapidly and every update related to his upcoming films is creating massive excitement among audiences.

Currently, Allu Arjun is busy with a high budget project directed by Atlee. This film is being made on a grand scale and is said to feature heavy visual effects along with a science fiction backdrop. The project is already one of the most awaited films in Indian cinema and fans are eagerly waiting to see the stylish star in a completely new avatar.

Even before completing this film, news about Allu Arjun’s next project has started making headlines. According to strong industry buzz, he has given his nod to a film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. This collaboration has created huge excitement as Lokesh is known for his intense storytelling and powerful action films. The project is expected to be produced by Mythri Movie Makers.

Reports suggest that the production house has already set up a special office for Lokesh Kanagaraj in Hyderabad. This step clearly shows how serious the team is about the project. Lokesh is expected to start location scouting from January, while script discussions are already in progress. Interestingly, the director has reworked his long-cherished dream project titled Irumbu Kai Mayavi by making several changes to suit Allu Arjun’s image and pan India reach.

The story is said to be unique and emotionally strong. It revolves around a hero who meets with a major accident and loses one of his hands. Later, a powerful metal hand replaces it, giving him extraordinary strength and a new purpose in life. This idea has been close to Lokesh’s heart for many years and it now seems ready to come alive with Allu Arjun in the lead role. Sources say that the shooting may begin in the second half of 2026.
