National Award-winning Telugu superstar Allu Arjun social media is on fire after a rather cryptic online update from acclaimed Malayalam filmmaker and actor Basil Joseph. While the official confirmation about a pan-India collaboration remains under wraps, the ‘Minnal Murali’ director recently shared a viral story on Instagram with an “Icon” cap paired with a hit track from ‘Arya 2’, prompting fans to believe that the long-rumoured project, tentatively titled ‘AA24’ is officially on.
Basil Joseph’s ‘Icon’ post adds fuel to ‘AA24’ rumours
The buzz started when Basil Joseph shared a picture of a cap with the word “Icon,” a title closely associated with Allu Arjun. He also added a popular song from ‘Arya 2’ to the story, making fans even more convinced that the post is connected to the Pushpa star. Soon after, social media was flooded with discussions about the rumored collaboration, with many calling the project #AA24. While the post has indeed garnered attention, there has been no official confirmation from Basil Joseph or Allu Arjun about the film.
Rumored collaboration is expected after Allu Arjun completes current commitments
If Basil Joseph’s project materialises, it can start only after Allu Arjun completes his ongoing commitments. The actor is currently working on ‘Raaka,’ directed by Atlee, one of his most ambitious films with lots of CGI and visual effects. He is also expected to associate with: Lokesh Kanagaraj for another high-profile project, ‘AA23,’ which has already generated a lot of excitement after the recently released look test video. Earlier rumors linked Basil Joseph’s film with the shelved ‘Shaktimaan’ project, but writer Arun Anirudhan clarified that the reported collaboration is a new story and not connected to the superhero film.
Fans are eagerly waiting for an official announcement on ‘AA24’
If the collaboration becomes official, it will mark the first time that Basil Joseph and Allu Arjun have worked together, making it one of the most anticipated combinations in South Indian cinema. Basil Joseph, who won acclaim for directing ‘Minnal Murali,’ has built a strong reputation for mixing commercial entertainment with innovative storytelling. He was last seen in ‘Athiradi’ co Tovino Thomas and also made a cameo appearance in ‘Mollywood Times.’ For now, the “Icon” post remains a tease, but it’s enough to keep fans talking as they wait for an official announcement about the much-discussed ‘AA24’ project.
