Allu Arjun Re-enters Franchise Zone

With the success of the Pushpa franchise, Allu Arjun has become one of the biggest pan-India stars. Even though Pushpa 2 is yet to be released, the team has already announced plans for a third part, showing the franchise’s growing scale.

Now, Allu Arjun is reportedly stepping into another franchise zone with his upcoming film directed by Atlee. Initially planned as a single-part movie, recent buzz suggests that the project may be split into two parts, and an official announcement is expected soon.

In today’s film industry, both scale and budget play a major role in turning movies into franchises. If the first part performs well, the second part often brings in bigger profits. That’s why some teams are willing to release the first part even at a loss, hoping the sequel will recover the investment.

Buzz: AA22 – Allu Arjun and Atlee’s film to become a two-part film

The Allu Arjun–Atlee film might follow this strategy. With a reported budget of ₹800 crore, recovering costs from just one release is a huge challenge, especially since OTT platforms are no longer offering massive deals. Also, telling a large-scale story in a single film is not easy, which is why splitting it into two parts could make sense.

We’ll have to wait and see how much truth there is to this buzz and what the makers officially confirm.

  • Level I: Self-regulation by the OTT publishers
  • Level II: Oversight by self-regulating bodies formed by publishers
