Pushpa to Icon: Allu Arjun’s upcoming line-up of films revealed

Pushpa to Icon: Allu Arjun’s upcoming line-up of films revealed

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.

Priyanka Chopra declares she will always be an Indian actor despite Hollywood success

Highlights:

  • She shot down the 'global actor' tag with a definitive, almost weary, clarity.
  • Her first major jewellery purchase was a self-funded diamond from an early film pay cheque.
  • She's deep in the trenches of her pirate film The Bluff and the Citadel sequel.
  • The Bulgari partnership works because it, unlike many, shouts out Indian craftsmanship.
  • Despite the Hollywood slate, the SS Rajamouli film in India is absolutely confirmed.

Look, Priyanka Chopra is done explaining herself. On a quick stop in Mumbai, sandwiched between Hollywood schedules and a glittering Bulgari event, someone dared to ask the question again. You know the one. Global or Indian? Her answer wasn't just sharp; it was a sigh of finality. For an Indian actor in Hollywood, the constant need to define her identity is just noise. And she's done listening to it.

But for them, it's never about genre. It's all gut feeling. Speaking exclusively to Eastern Eye ahead of their Barbican show on 3 October, the Lahore-based band opened up about their philosophy, their roots, and why improvisation feels like a conversation, not a performance.
