After Rana Daggubati, there is another young Telugu actor who seems to be eyeing Kollywood. The latest buzz we hear is that Tollywood star Allu Arjun, who has done popular films like Arya and Vedam, is now looking at a good launchpad, which should be a Selvaraghavan film that is slated to take off later this year.
Apparently, Arjun and Selva are in talks since quite a while to formalize on a possible project that could kickstart later this year. The director and the actor are said to have been discussing scripts, though nothing concrete has come of it as yet. Selva seems to be quite the favourite of the Telugu actors, as he also has a film with Rana in the pipeline, which should take off much later. Rana had earlier told CT, "Selva and I were to have teamed up earlier but the two of us got busy with other commitments. I definitely would want to work with him soon and we have a script in mind, which could be a trilingual project." In all possibility, the Allu Arjun film might take off before Rana's film with the Mayakkam Enna director. Sources hint that the film with Arjun may kickstart towards the end of this year, once the actor and director are finished with their current commitments. When we contacted Arjun's spokesperson, he confirmed that Arjun was in talks with Selva. "There are discussions but they are still in the nascent stage. Arjun is looking to debut this year in Tamil and in all probability it would be a Selvaraghavan film through which he will enter Kollywood," he says. Selva, who is currently not in the country, was unavailable for comment on this development.
