After the success of Pushpa 2, actor Allu Arjun is said to be reportedly preparing for his upcoming project with director Atlee.

Originally, Arjun was supposed to work with filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas, but he has now turned his attention to Atlee's next due to unexpected delays.

The film is expected to be an action-packed commercial spectacle.

Meanwhile, rumors suggest that actor Janhvi Kapoor could be the female lead in this project.

Kapoor is also in the limelight as a frontrunner for the female lead in Atlee's film. Her work in the Chuttamalle track in Jr NTR's Devara has made her a familiar face among Telugu audiences.

She is also lined up for a role in Ram Charan's forthcoming project helmed by Buchi Babu Sana. This makes her a strong candidate for the role opposite Arjun in his next commercial entertainer.
