Ace Telugu director Trivikram Srinivas, known for his strong brand value and loyal fanbase, currently finds himself in a tricky situation regarding his next project. Originally, Trivikram had invested nearly a year working on the script for a massive mythological pan-Indian project with Allu Arjun. This film was expected to go on floors around this time.
However, with Allu Arjun reportedly prioritizing his film with director Atlee, things have taken a different turn. Although there are talks of Allu Arjun managing both projects simultaneously, the challenge lies in juggling two films of completely different genres. Even then, Trivikram might have to wait at least eight more months, possibly longer, before he can start his ambitious venture.
Amidst this delay, rumors are circulating that Trivikram is contemplating a different film in the interim. While this could keep him occupied, it also carries a significant risk. Following the mixed response to ‘Guntur Karam’, another underwhelming project could impact his pan-Indian dream collaboration with Allu Arjun. Now, all eyes are on Trivikram as he weighs the pros and cons of waiting versus taking up another film. Either way, the decision is bound to be a crucial one for his career.
![But in India, after the 1st weekend, the film did not see big numbers. Everyone expected it would be the 1st 100 Cr grosser for Kerala, and even they thought it would open the 150 Cr club and many more milestones, but L2 Empuraan did not match the expectations. As of now, the film has not become the number one grosser yet. It has collected around 85 Cr gross, and reaching the No. 1 position [90 Cr] itself looks like an impossible task. The mixed WOM impacted it from the 2nd week, and that is why Empuraan’s disappointing finish at the Indian box office shocked everyone.](https://tracktollywood.com/wp-content/smush-webp/2025/03/20250327_112435-265x198.jpg.webp "Empuraan’s Disappointing Finish at Indian Box Office")
