Allu Arjun has become one of the most powerful pan Indian celebrities in history, thanks in part to the amazing success of Pushpa 2.
Particularly in North India, his fan base grows all the time and this has really boosted his popularity for top Bollywood movies.
Recent accounts show he has landed a highprofile movie meant for Salman Khan early.
Preparing for his next big directorial project is Atlee, the genius behind Jawan, which grossed over $139.2 million worldwide and became one of Bollywood’s best movies.

An over the top action drama with a reincarnation plot runs through the movie.
At first, Sun Pictures would not invest a lot of money given Salman Khan’s lately lackluster box office performance to play the main part.
