Allu Arjun set to headline Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s next?

Tollywood superstar Allu Arjun, who recently delivered the biggest blockbuster of his career in the form of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (2020), is in huge demand. While several filmmakers are approaching him with their projects, the actor also seems set to take on multiple films at the same time.

After the huge success of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, the superstar has signed two high-profile films – Pushpa and Icon. While Icon has already gone on floors, Pushpa is expected to start rolling right after the Coronavirus lockdown is lifted.


The latest we hear that Allu Arjun has given his nod to yet another film. The popular South Indian star will reportedly be seen in director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s next Telugu offering. Vanga shot to fame with his 2017 directorial Arjun Reddy and its Bollywood remake Kabir Singh (2019).

Earlier, rumours were rife that the director was planning to helm yet another Hindi film after the massive success of Kabir Singh with Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani. However, if fresh reports are to be believed, he is planning his next film in Telugu and Allu Arjun is expected to take the lead role in his next film from the south Indian film industry.

Several media outlets report that Arjun has already bagged the yet to be titled film, though Baahubali star Prabhas was also in the race to play the protagonist.

However, an official confirmation is awaited.

Meanwhile, Prabhas, who was last seen in the Sujeeth-directed action entertainer Saaho (2019), is presently busy with his next multilingual film, tentatively titled Jaan. Directed by Radhakrishna Kumar, the movie also stars Pooja Hegde in the lead role. Reportedly, Prabhas will be seen in a dual role in Jaan.

Water demand sparks questions around shoot logistics

The upcoming pan-Indian film Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, has reportedly run into a logistical challenge ahead of a key shooting schedule. According to reports, the production team sought a substantial number of water tankers for an underwater sequence being prepared at a specially constructed set near Gaganpahad in Hyderabad.

It is claimed that around 150 tankers, each carrying 10,000 litres, were requested from the city’s water authorities. However, the request was reportedly turned down due to ongoing summer shortages and increasing demand for drinking water across Hyderabad. There has been no official confirmation from the makers, though the reports have circulated widely online.
