![Nelson to direct Allu Arjun's next?](https://www.greatandhra.com/newphotos10/allu_nelson11721030686.jpg)
With Tamil director Atlee stepping out, Nelson Dilipkumar's film with star Allu Arjun is set to happen soon.
"Nelson is ahead since he has script approval from Allu Arjun and just needs to complete his work on 'Jailer 2' before starting with Bunny," a source says, adding that the project will begin by year-end.
After the success of 'Jailer,' Nelson met Allu Arjun in Hyderabad and narrated a storyline that Bunny immediately approved.
"Nelson's story has a unique backdrop, packed with action and entertainment. Bunny, seeking something different, liked the script in principle," the source adds.
Designed as a pan-India entertainer, this project follows Allu Arjun's rise in popularity after 'Pushpa,' which is expected to grow further after 'Pushpa 2.'
"Bunny will do Nelson's film before moving to other projects," the source concludes.
The film will reportedly be produced by Nallamallapu Bujji, who previously produced the blockbuster 'Race Gurram' with Allu Arjun.
