Allu Arjun is one of the most successful actors presently working in Tollywood. The actor enjoys a massive fan following, which ensures that his films open to earth-shattering response at the box-office.
The 38-year-old star was last seen in Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (2020), which turned out to be an instant blockbuster at the ticket counter, becoming one of the highest-grossing Telugu films ever. After its resounding success in Telugu language, the film is now set for a remake in Bollywood.
After Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Arjun started working on director Sukumar’s action thriller Pushpa. Also starring Fahadh Faasil and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles, the hugely anticipated Telugu film will simultaneously release in several other Indian languages also.
Now, giving an unexpected surprise to Allu Arjun’s fans, successful producer Bunny Vas has revealed the upcoming line-up of films that the actor has in the pipeline. Also confirming the sequel of Pushpa, Vas reportedly said that the film is set to be the biggest blockbuster of the actor’s career to date.
“After Sukumar’s Pushpa, Allu Arjun will work with Venu Sriram for Icon. After that, he will shoot for the sequel of Pushpa. When we resumed shooting for the film, we did not expect it to be such a massive story,” Vas said in a recent interview.
He added that they have now decided to make two films, he said, “Now Pushpa will release in two parts because of that. Allu Arjun has also given his nod for films with AR Murugadoss and Boyapati Srinu after Pushpa 2. Koratala Siva’s film will also be accommodated in the line-up, depending on the dates. But as of now, we are all working towards making Pushpa the next big thing in Indian cinema.”
Buzz also has it that Allu Arjun is in talks with KGF director Prashanth Neel for a film. However, there has been no official word on the same.

Romesh admits he’s aware of possible overexposure but says he chooses work based on gut feeling and quality.
He makes his West End debut opposite Sheridan Smith in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind.
The play runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 9 December to 28 February, then in Sunderland and Glasgow in March.
Romesh will play Bill, the doctor who links Susan’s real and imagined worlds.
He balances television, radio, and stage work by turning down offers he doesn’t think he can do well.
Romesh Ranganathan says he knows the word “overexposure” follows him around and he’s decided it’s a risk worth taking. The comedian, who is making his West End debut, told the BBC he deliberately turns down roles at times but will say yes when a job feels right, putting “overexposure” and the play’s pull, plus the chance to work with Sheridan Smith, at the centre of his decision. This new stage turn comes as Romesh juggles television presenting, radio, and touring stand-up, and it is also his first proper stage role since primary school.

What does Romesh mean by overexposure?
He’s not talking theory. He’s talking experience. Romesh openly acknowledges people tell him “you’re on everything,” a phrase he quotes, not hides from. His defence, though, is practical. He asks whether the project is something he’d watch, whether he can do it justice, and yes, whether there’s a fee. That’s his filter. Plain as that.

Why take the West End risk with Sheridan Smith?
Because the role felt right. Romesh will play Bill, the doctor connecting Susan’s two worlds, in Alan Ayckbourn’s Woman in Mind. Sheridan Smith leads as Susan, and Romesh says working opposite her is “exciting and intimidating.” He’s honest about nerves; that’s part of the point. He wants the challenge, even if it raises his profile further.
The production runs at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London from 9 December until 28 February, followed by dates at Sunderland Empire and a run at Theatre Royal, Glasgow, in March 2026 (Glasgow 10–14 March; Sunderland 4–7 March). The revival is directed by Michael Longhurst and keeps close to Ayckbourn’s original while offering a fresh staging.
How Romesh is balancing television, radio, and theatre
Romesh fronts shows including Parents Evening and hosts a BBC Radio 2 slot, plus podcasts and tours. He’s selective, he says. He’ll keep doing varied work, including television, radio, and stage, but only when he feels it’s the right fit. If the public tires of him? He joked he might go and work in a café. For now, he’s stepping on stage.
