Rumors about a collaboration between Icon Star Allu Arjun and Malayalam director Basil Joseph have been circulating widely in Tollywood and Mollywood for quite some time.
Basil Joseph’s presence at Allu Sirish’s recent wedding was linked to this very project. Now, the director has dropped a strong hint by sharing a photo on Instagram featuring a cap with the word ‘Icon’ on it. He also posted the image to his Instagram Stories.
This is being interpreted as an indirect confirmation of the Basil Joseph Allu Arjun collaboration. While neither has made a formal announcement and no official statement has been released, the Instagram post has created massive buzz among fans.

Basil Joseph gained a massive fan base with the superhero film Minnal Murali, starring Tovino Thomas. He then developed another superhero project, Shaktimaan. While reports suggested he would make this film with Allu Arjun, Basil clarified that this was not the case, though he didn’t reveal specific story details.
Latest reports suggest the film will likely be produced under the Geetha Arts banner, owned by the Allu family. Allu Arjun is currently busy with Raaka, directed by Atlee. After that, he’s set to collaborate with Lokesh Kanagaraj.
Once these commitments are fulfilled, the Basil Joseph Allu Arjun project is expected to begin filming. The Atlee film marks Allu Arjun’s 22nd movie, while the Lokesh Kanagaraj project will be his 23rd. Reports suggest the Pushpa actor intends for the Basil Joseph film to be his 25th project.
