There has been a lot of excitement about a potential collaboration between Allu Arjun and director Atlee. However, it now seems that this project might not happen due to disagreements over the director’s pay.
According to a report by trustable source, Atlee known for directing the movie Jawan, asked for a payment of Rs 80 crores for his next film. This high demand has caused the producers who were planning to support Allu Arjun’s film to withdraw from the project.
The report states that Atlee and Allu Arjun had several discussions and even shared the basic plot of the film. But the director’s high fee has made the producers reconsider, leading to doubts about the movie’s future. Additionally, Atlee is now looking for another lead actor while Allu Arjun has not yet confirmed his next project after “Pushpa 2: The Rule.” Although no official statements have been made by either the actor or the director, this has led to many speculations about their collaboration.
