Allu Arjun’s 22nd film is shaping up to be the biggest and boldest project of his career. Directed by Atlee and produced by Sun Pictures, this high-budget entertainer is set to go on floors soon. The script is locked, and pre-production work is currently underway.
The film is said to feature five heroines. Each role is reportedly crafted to suit the story’s arc — a rare move even in big-star commercial films.

The real buzz, however, is about Allu Arjun playing a dual role — both hero and villain. While there’s no official confirmation, strong insider leaks suggest this twist is almost certain.
If true, it would place him alongside a select few who’ve pulled off similar roles — like Suriya in 24, Kamal Haasan in Abhay, Rajinikanth in Robo, and Shah Rukh Khan in Fan. While these performances earned huge praise, only a few — like Robo — turned into major box office blockbusters.
