Meet actor who comes from a rich family, debuted at 3, and is set to romance Deepika Padukone in a Rs 800 crore film
Meet the actor who has defined box office trends with his last film, which redefined pan-Indian cinema. Despite hailing from an established film family, this superstar has worked his own way to stardom and has delivered some of the most iconic hits, which remain classic even today. Can you guess who we are speaking about? Yes, it's Allu Arjun. All about Allu Arjun Born in 1982, Allu Arjun is the son of notable film producer Allu Aravind and his wife Nirmala. He hails from an established film family and, by extended relations, is part of the Mega family of Tollywood. He is the second among his two other siblings. Allu Arjun's elder brother, Venkatesh, is a businessman, while his younger brother, Allu Sirish, has also paved the way in films as an actor. AA completed schooling in Chennai and went ahead to pursue an MBA in Hyderabad. The actor had always wanted to pursue animation as a profession and even took a course in that field. However, he later focused more on the performing arts and ended up in cinema. From debut as a child artist to rising stardom Allu Arjun was only 3 years old when he made his debut in acting as a child artist. He also made some more appearances on-camera as a child in films like Vijetha and Daddy. It was 2003 when he finally made his adult debut in the movie Gangotri, where he was chosen as the lead. Allu Arjun finally made his breakthrough with Sukumar's film Arya, which not only won him awards but also was a commercial and critical success. From 2007 onwards, he went on to bag different film offers, which turned out to be a phase of experimentation for him. While films like Desamuduru, Arya 2, Vedam, and others were tremendous successes, other projects, such as Varudu and Badrinath, failed to hit the mark. Allu Arjun shot to success with Yevadu, Race Gurram This period of mixed responses in his career was followed by Allu Arjun delivering epic blockbusters consecutively, whether with a cameo in Yevadu or a solid entertainer like Race Gurram. Films like S/O Satyamurthy, Rudhramadevi, Sarrainodu, Ala Vaikunthapuramaloo, and more were again hits at the box office for the actor. In all, the actor has delivered a total of about seven Rs. 100 crore grossers at the box office to date. Rise to critical and pan-Indian fame with Pushpa franchise The turning point in his career came with the onset of the Pushpa franchise. Directed by Sukumar, the first installment in 2021 and its sequel in 2024 set a massive new benchmark in Indian cinema, with each film becoming a cult favorite in absolutely no time. In terms of box office numbers, both of them broke records and became the highest-grossing films of the year. Coming to his personal life, the actor tied the knot with Sneha Reddy in 2011. The two are blessed with a son named Ayaan and a daughter named Arha. The actor often shares glimpses with his family on social media, which leaves fans thrilled beyond measure. AA comes from a set film background. His father, Allu Aravind, is a famous producer in the industry and his uncle, Chiranjeevi, is one of the top Tollywood actors Allu Arjun's upcoming work front Coming to his work front, Allu Arjun has been in the news lately as he collaborates with Atlee on a massive pan-India project ahead. Titled AA22, the movie is based on a whopping budget of Rs. 800 crore and will feature him in a never-before-seen avatar. Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has been announced to be a part of this project as one of the leading ladies. He also has an upcoming film Ravanam in the pipeline, which will be directed by Prashanth Neel.

Trivikram film shelved; Allu Arjun to team up with Minnal Murali fame Basil Joseph?
Allu Arjun has been making headlines for multiple reasons in recent days. First, his much-awaited film with Trivikram Srinivas has been shelved, as the star director is now set to work on projects with Jr NTR and Venkatesh, respectively. This news has disappointed fans who were eagerly awaiting the duo's fourth collaboration. A fan of Allu Arjun? Stream his films Ala Vaikunthapurramloo and Race Gurram on OTTplay Premium On the other hand, the Pushpa 2 star is back in the limelight as reports suggest he is gearing up to collaborate with acclaimed actor-director Basil Joseph. The latest buzz in Telugu film circles indicates that talks are in an advanced stage, and that the project might go on floors in the latter half of 2027. Rumours about Allu Arjun teaming up with Basil surfaced nearly six months ago but didn't gain much traction at the time. Now that the Trivikram film is officially off the table, Allu Arjun is said to have locked Basil's film as his next. Meanwhile, Basil, who was last seen in Maranamass, is currently occupied with his upcoming film Vala and is planning to take a break from acting. He intends to return to full-time direction with three scripts ready to roll. This timeline aligns well with Allu Arjun's schedule, as he will also be wrapping up his film with Atlee by then. Fans are thrilled with the prospect of Allu Arjun working with a creative filmmaker like Basil Joseph, whose films have found significant popularity in the Telugu states. While there is no official confirmation yet from either party, the news is quickly gaining traction and building excitement among fans. If the project materializes, it will be interesting to see what kind of cinematic experience Basil Joseph crafts with the Telugu superstar. Meanwhile, Allu Arjun has begun shooting for his upcoming film in Mumbai. Produced by Sun Pictures, the action drama is touted to be one of the biggest Indian productions in the making.

Allu Arjun out, Jr NTR in? Here's everything you want to know about Trivikram Srinivas project
Allu Arjun and Trivikram Srinivas' upcoming socio-mythological project has been in the news for a long time now. It has been one of the most awaited collaborations between the two, after some of their past epic hits like Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Julaayi, S/O Satyamurthy, and more. 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.
