Speculation has been rife about the much-anticipated fourth collaboration between director Trivikram Srinivas and Stylish Star Allu Arjun. Initially, reports suggested that the film would be a grand-scale venture with a massive budget of ₹1,200 crores and a three-year shooting schedule. However, recent developments indicate a change in direction.
Allu Arjun, fresh off the completion of Pushpa 2, was expected to begin Trivikram’s film in October 2024. However, the latest buzz suggests that he will first collaborate with blockbuster director Atlee. Adding to the excitement, reports indicate that composer Sai Abhyankar will be scoring the music for this high-profile project.
With Allu Arjun shifting his focus, Trivikram Srinivas is reportedly moving forward with another film—this time with Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja. Though the duo has never worked on a full-fledged film together, Trivikram had previously penned a song for Ravi Teja’s Oka Raju Oka Rani. After multiple failed attempts to collaborate, it seems their long-awaited project is finally taking shape.
Fans are eagerly anticipating this combination, as Trivikram’s signature dialogues combined with Ravi Teja’s impeccable comic timing could make for a blockbuster entertainer. The film, backed by Haarika & Hassine Creations, will be produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Chinnababu. Reports also suggest that Pooja Hegde and Sreeleela have been finalized as the female leads, with a tentative release date set for Sankranti 2026.
Meanwhile, uncertainty looms over the future of Trivikram and Allu Arjun’s ambitious project. Since Allu Arjun already dedicated three years to Pushpa 2, sources suggest he is hesitant to commit to another lengthy schedule, leading to its postponement. A similar situation arose when Trivikram’s planned collaboration with Jr. NTR failed to materialize.
With both Trivikram and Allu Arjun moving ahead with different projects, their much-awaited fourth collaboration appears to be on indefinite hold. Whether the film will be revived in the future remains to be seen.
