Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has reportedly confirmed that his much-anticipated collaboration with Allu Arjun is very much on track. According to the latest industry buzz, Lokesh recently met the star along with his co-writer Rathna, where they presented the latest version of the script.
The narration is said to have impressed Allu Arjun, and the team has now moved into the next stage of pre-production. Reports indicate that a special look test for the actor has been scheduled in Mumbai, signaling that the project is progressing steadily after months of speculation.
The film, tentatively referred to as AAxLoki/AA23, is expected to begin principal photography in Hyderabad around October 2026 once Allu Arjun completes his ongoing commitments. Industry reports suggest that the makers are planning a grand launch, with an official announcement likely to arrive alongside a first-look reveal from the project.
The collaboration has generated enormous excitement among fans, as it marks Lokesh Kanagaraj’s first full-fledged film with Allu Arjun and is expected to be mounted on a massive scale by the producers.
