Allu Arjun to Star in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Sci-Fi Superhero Film
Allu Arjun is going to star in a new sci-fi superhero movie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
The story is about a hero who loses his hand in an accident and then fights crime using a powerful metal prosthetic.
The movie is inspired by a Tamil book called 'Irumbu Kai Mayavi'.
The director initially thought of making this movie with Tamil stars but later decided to work with Allu Arjun.
The music will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander, and the movie will be produced by Mythri Movie Makers.
It's expected to start filming in 2026 after Allu Arjun finishes his project with another director named Atlee.
The makers have already released a conceptual video that shows the hero as the 'king of the jungle' with a group of foxes challenging him, hinting at a power struggle in the movie.
