Right after Pushpa 2: The Rule took the box office by storm, Allu Arjun is reportedly teaming up with Minnal Murali director Basil Joseph for a new movie that’s got everyone talking. Fans are losing it on social media over this surprise combo, and even though we’re still waiting for the official word, it sounds like Geetha Arts is backing the project, and things are already in motion.
The buzz started when Allu Arjun and Basil had a low-key meeting back in February 2025, where Basil pitched a story that totally hooked the star. Basil’s got this knack for mixing action, drama, and a bit of humor—his superhero hit Minnal Murali (2021) was proof of that. Now, imagine that paired with Allu Arjun’s larger-than-life vibe from films like Pushpa or Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. Fans are guessing it could be an action thriller, but the details are still under wraps, keeping us all on our toes.
Allu Arjun’s riding high after Pushpa 2 raked in over ₹1800 crore worldwide. He’s got a stacked lineup, including a cool supernatural-sci-fi project with Atlee, tentatively called AA22xA6, and there’s some chatter about maybe working with KGF’s Prashanth Neel. A mythological film with Trivikram Srinivas was on the table but seems to have gone to Jr. NTR, clearing the way for this new venture with Basil.
Basil Joseph’s been on a roll, too, shining as both a director and actor in Malayalam gems like Sookshmadarshini and Ponman. His films, like Kunjiramayanam (2015), Godha (2017), and Minnal Murali, have this universal charm that clicks with all kinds of audiences. He’s also got a big project cooking with Tamil star Suriya, showing he’s a name to watch across South Indian cinema.
Fans are hyped about this crossover, blending the best of Telugu and Malayalam storytelling. X is buzzing with people calling it a “peak movie” already, dreaming up epic roles for Allu Arjun in Basil’s world. This feels like it could be a massive pan-India hit. Keep your eyes peeled—this one’s gonna be a blast!
