A new speculation involving director Lokesh Kanagaraj has taken social media by storm, though there is no official confirmation yet. According to the buzz, Lokesh has pitched a big pan Indian project featuring two top Telugu stars in lead roles.
The rumor has gained traction because of the scale involved and Lokesh's strong track record before Coolie.
Earlier reports suggested that Lokesh had narrated his superhero script Irumbu Kai Maayavi to Allu Arjun. However, the latest talk is different. This time, Lokesh is said to have narrated a dual hero script to Allu Arjun, with Jr. NTR planned as the second lead. As per the buzz, Allu Arjun liked the idea and is reportedly willing to do the film, but only if NTR agrees to come on board. Sources claim Lokesh is now trying to convince NTR, and the project could move fast if he agrees.
Even though it remains speculation, fans have already gone into overdrive. Social media is flooded with fan made posters and edits imagining Allu Arjun and NTR together. Many believe that if this combination happens under Lokesh's direction, it could become one of the biggest films in Indian cinema.
At the same time, a section of Tamil cinema fans is unhappy. They expected Lokesh to focus on expanding the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, especially projects like Kaithi 2, after the success of Vikram. With Coolie not meeting expectations, concerns about his next move have grown.
Adding to the uncertainty, Lokesh's lineup has been unclear for a while, with names like Aamir Khan, Prabhas, and Pawan Kalyan appearing in earlier rumors. Meanwhile, both Allu Arjun and NTR are busy with existing commitments. For now, there is no official word from anyone involved. Whether this ambitious multistarrer happens or remains just online buzz remains to be seen.
