Allu Arjun- Pooja Hegde buzz for AA23, that upcoming collab between Allu Arjun and director Lokesh Kanagaraj, just keeps doing the rounds. Now some fresh reports are hinting that Pooja Hegde might come on board, potentially as the female lead, and you know how these things go, everyone starts connecting the dots.
Allu Arjun-Pooja Hegde Reunion
As per what industry folks are saying, the makers are mulling over Pooja Hegde for a prominent role opposite Allu Arjun. If this happens, it could turn into another on-screen meeting for the popular pair, after Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and DJ, the kind where audiences felt “again please” from the first moment. Still, an official word from the production team is being waited on, so right now it’s more like a strong possibility than a final stamp.
Even without too many solid story details, AA23 has become one of the most anticipated pan-India projects. The reason is Lokesh Kanagaraj, who’s currently riding a massive wave after films such as Leo, Vikram, and Kaithi. Fans are especially curious to watch how he will carve out Allu Arjun’s presence inside a high octane action universe, you could say it’s gonna be something sharper, less relaxed.
Yes, the plot is still under wraps, but multiple reports suggest the character Allu Arjun plays may lean darker and more intense, compared to his earlier commercial entertainers. Not the usual vibe, more brooding, more pressure, that sort of energy.
At the same time, Pooja Hegde is handling several projects across Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema. So if these rumours end up being accurate, AA23 would end up being one of the most major alliances of her career, like a big milestone moment.
