Allu Arjun out, Jr NTR in? Here's everything you want to know about Trivikram Srinivas project
However, some recent reports have now claimed that there has been a change of lead stars for the film.
Has Allu Arjun exited the project with Trivikram Srinivas?
As per a 123 Telugu report, it is believed that the Race Gurram star has walked out of this long-standing collaboration with Trivikram. It is worth noting that this was indeed one of the most highly anticipated projects, as the actor would have been portraying a mythological character-based role.
While there is no confirmation on his exit, the report states that Allu Arjun's exit could perhaps have been fuelled by creative differences with the director or even some scheduling conflicts.
Did Jr NTR take up the lead role for this socio-mythological project?
Interestingly, the 123 Telugu report has now suggested that Jr. NTR might be in consideration for taking on the lead role meant initially for Allu Arjun.
The War 2 actor who is currently eyeing his big Bollywood debut with the Ayan Mukerji directorial is likely in talks on the matter. If this materialises, then it would mark Tarak's second film with the director.
However, this too remains unconfirmed as of now, and further updates on the project are still awaited from the makers.
Has Trivikram's project been shelved completely?
With the growing buzz surrounding the project, there have also been rumours about Trivikram Srinivas' film getting shelved. However, a recent Telugu Cinema report now claims that the high-budget project is instead postponed indefinitely.
The report suggests that since Allu Arjun is busy with his pan-Indian film with Atlee at the moment, Trivikram Srinivas has decided to put this project on hold and is also focusing on his other upcoming movies.

2025 is turning out to be a good year for Akshay Kumar, as the actor has won over the audience with his versatile act ranging from Sky Force to Kesari 2 and Housefull 5. He also tasted mid-level success with Kesari 2 and Housefull 5, and is now all set for his last release of 2025 – the Subhash Kapoor directed-Jolly LLB 3.

According to reliable sources, the first teaser of Jolly LLB 3 will be launched in the second week of August, and screen all across the country with the big Independence Day 2025 release, War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR. 'Jolly LLB 3 team is working on a teaser trailer of this courtroom comedy, that announces the arrival of two Jolly's to create chaos in each other's life like never before. The idea is to launch it around August 10, and then send the teaser cut to cinema halls all across to be screened with War 2,' a source shared with us.

Shruti Haasan Reacts To Coolie And War 2 Clash: ‘This Is How Business Works'
Last Updated: While Coolie primarily targets the Tamil audience, War 2 is expected to dominate the Hindi and Telugu markets due to Jr NTR's massive fan base. Superstar Rajinikanth's Coolie is gearing up for a major box office showdown with the much-anticipated War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, this Independence Day weekend. With immense buzz surrounding both films, trade analysts are bracing for one of the biggest cinematic clashes of the year. While Coolie is expected to lead in the Tamil market, War 2 is likely to dominate the Hindi and Telugu circuits, thanks to Jr NTR's massive fan following. Amid the rising excitement, actress Shruti Haasan has shared her thoughts on the high-stakes competition. Speaking to Zoom, Shruti, who is part of Coolie, said, 'It has happened several times, even during my career. Films have the option of selecting certain slots. Even Salaar was released with Dunki." She added, 'Nothing can be done about it. Filmmakers must choose a specific time period for their film. There is a time when people want to see an actor's film, whether it's Coolie or War 2. This is how business works." Further talking about Coolie, Shruti said, 'All of Lokesh's films share a common thread. They have action and high-octane scenes, but there is also an emotional core below. That is similar to this story. He relies on a story thread to make it work. What distinguishes Coolie is the significantly larger scale." Coolie: Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Rajinikanth, Shruti Haasan, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, and Jr. MGR. The film will also feature a special cameo by Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. According to Letterboxd, Coolie follows the story of Deva (played by Rajinikanth), a once-powerful crime boss whose empire has long crumbled. Years later, Deva stumbles upon a mysterious way to reunite with his former crew through a collection of vintage golden watches embedded with stolen, high-end technology. War 2: Helmed by Ayan Mukerji and backed by Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films, War 2 is a part of the production house's Spy Universe. It features Hrithik, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani in the leads. Recently, Fandango, a US ticketing site, provided some information about the film, claiming that Hrithik Roshan's Kabir goes rogue and becomes 'India's biggest villain" in the sequel. To neutralise him, India sends in a lethal agent, who appears to be Jr NTR. Both films are slated to hit the big screens on August 14.
