Aditya Dhar Narrates His Dream Project to Allu Arjun After Mega Success of Dhurandhar – Third ₹1000 Cr Blockbuster Loading?
February 2, 2026 Published by anbuselvid8bbe9c60f
Tollywood and Bollywood circles are abuzz with explosive rumours of a potential dream collaboration between visionary director Aditya Dhar (of URI and the recent blockbuster Dhurandhar fame) and Pan-India icon Allu Arjun (Stylish Star Bunny). Following the massive success of Dhurandhar (starring Ranveer Singh), Aditya Dhar has reportedly narrated his long-cherished dream project to Allu Arjun, reigniting talks that first surfaced years ago.
Industry sources reveal that the project is currently in the discussion stage, with both parties showing strong interest. An official confirmation and announcement could happen soon after Dhurandhar 2 hits theatres (slated for March 19, 2026). This comes at a time when Allu Arjun is riding high with multiple high-profile projects in the pipeline, positioning him for yet another potential ₹1000 crore+ blockbuster.
This wouldn’t be their first connection – earlier reports (from 2023) mentioned Aditya Dhar narrating an ambitious story to Allu Arjun, possibly linked to the shelved The Immortal Ashwatthama (a mythological epic that was initially planned with Vicky Kaushal but dropped due to budget and other factors, including similarities with Kalki 2898 AD‘s Karna portions). They even travelled together back then, showing serious intent before it got shelved. Now, post-Dhurandhar‘s historic run, Dhar seems eager to revive or pitch a fresh ambitious vision tailored for Bunny’s mass appeal, physicality, and pan-India stardom.
Allu Arjun’s 2026-2027 lineup already looks stacked:
- AA22 (with director Atlee – sci-fi action thriller, currently shooting)
- AA23 (with Lokesh Kanagaraj – superhero film)
- Potential project with Sandeep Reddy Vanga (under discussion)
If this Aditya Dhar collaboration materializes, it could become Allu Arjun’s third ₹1000 crore contender (following the massive successes of Pushpa series), combining Dhar’s intense storytelling, research-driven narratives, and high-octane execution with Bunny’s charismatic screen presence and dance/mass energy.
Fans are thrilled at the prospect of this “landmark collaboration” – Stay tuned for official updates
