After months of speculation that Salman Khan would headline Atlee’s next directorial venture, it has now been confirmed that Allu Arjun, often referred to as the "Salman Khan of the South," will take the lead in the grand two-hero period saga.
The film will be backed by Sun Pictures, known for producing Vijay’s Sarkar (2018), Rajinikanth’s Jailer (2023), and the upcoming Coolie.
Reports suggest the project will be mounted on a massive scale, with a staggering budget exceeding ₹600 crores.
The film will feature an ensemble cast, including three leading ladies, with Janhvi Kapoor reportedly on board.
Due to delays in Allu Arjun’s mythological epic with Trivikram Srinivas, Atlee’s film has been fast-tracked, as the actor aims to wrap it up before March 2026.
