Allu Arjun Continues To Bring In Senior Starlets
In his next film, directed by Atlee, Allu Arjun has roped in Deepika Padukone, who is just 3 years younger to him.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 30 Jan 2026 3:26 PM ISTIn recent times, if a hero who is almost 40 years old casts a heroine of 20 years old, then they are getting massively trolled. That’s the reason many star heroes of this age are actually looking forward to heroines at around 30 years of age for their movies. That’s how some senior starlets, who are out of their prime, are still getting fat paychecks and big movies.
In his next film, directed by Atlee, Allu Arjun has roped in Deepika Padukone, who is just 3 years younger to him. After featuring with stars of her age to stars who are 20-30 years older than her, Deepika isn’t signing any film that comes her way these days, but only big-ticket movies. And that’s when Allu Arjun’s movie signed her.
Going by the talk around, it looks like Allu Arjun is repeating the formula again, as they are likely to sign 38-year-old Shraddha Kapoor now for the leading lady’s role. For the upcoming film to be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, we hear that Shraddha is being seriously considered as the leading lady. Earlier, she was supposed to do Pushpa 2’s Kissik song, but walked out at the last minute.
Well, for films featuring the likes of Allu Arjun, surely these senior beauties are also getting so much stardom and reach, too.
