Tollywood Icon Star Allu Arjun is currently the talk of the town with his grand collaboration with director Atlee.

Fans are already calling it a game-changer. But while this mega-project is in motion, a fresh wave of buzz has surfaced- whispers of a possible team-up between Allu Arjun and none other than SS Rajamouli.

The Speculation: A Long-awaited Collaboration

For years, industry insiders and fans alike have imagined what magic could unfold if Allu Arjun and Rajamouli joined forces. Reports suggest that Rajamouli’s father, V. Vijayendra Prasad, had even developed a concept with Bunny in mind, though it never materialised officially.

The filmmaker himself has praised Allu Arjun’s talent multiple times, and the Pushpa star has openly expressed his wish to collaborate with Rajamouli, making the buzz stronger than ever.

The Roadblocks: Timing and Commitments

At present, Rajamouli is deeply invested in his ambitious jungle adventure SSMB29 (tentatively titled) with Mahesh Babu, making immediate collaboration with Allu Arjun unlikely. Past rumours have hinted at creative or scheduling hurdles that stalled earlier discussions. Yet, the growing admiration between the actor and director keeps the conversation alive.

Meanwhile, fans are going wild on social media, fueling the speculation frenzy with enthusiastic posts.
