Allu Arjun’s next film, AA22, is directed by Tamil star director Atlee, and the film carries a humongous hype because it comes after Pushpa 2, a massive blockbuster at the box office. Besides this hype, Allu Arjun will also have to negate a persistent sentiment in the Telugu film industry with his next film.
Somehow, Tamil directors do not fully understand Telugu heroes’ strengths and the audience’s taste and sensibilities when they make films with our stars. This is the main reason why Tamil directors have continuously failed to deliver box office successes.
Tamil Directors: A Concerning Track Record with Telugu Heroes
For stars like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, and Ram Charan, Tamil directors have delivered huge disasters at the box office. Not only big heroes, even Tier-2 heroes have faced major flops with Tamil directors.
At his peak, Allu Arjun doing back-to-back films with Tamil directors stunned and surprised everyone. Even without waiting for the Atlee film’s result, he has already decided to join Lokesh Kanagaraj’s movie shooting this year itself, while the Atlee film is likely to release next year.
Both Atlee and Lokesh Kanagaraj not only need to satisfy Telugu audiences but also the pan-Indian audience, as Allu Arjun is now a big pan-India star, and it needs to be seen whether he will eliminate the sentiment in the industry. Both films will be released in all languages.
