Pooja Hegde and Allu Arjun have cemented themselves as a successful pair, especially considering their hits, Duvvada Jagannadham and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. And now, reports are rife that Pooja and Allu might reunite once again for a full-fledged action entertainer, AA23, helmed by director Lokesh Kanagaraj.

As per reports, Pooja is in talks to lead AA23 as the female lead; however, there has been no confirmation regarding the same. If the reports of their reunion are to be believed, the audience is in for an absolute theatrical treat that might bring back the magic from the days of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and DJ.

Raaka

The first look poster of Allu Arjun’s next film Raaka dropped on his birthday, and it’s safe to say, it’s the kind of reveal that understands the assignment.

After the seismic success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, expectations are sky-high. The first look, therefore, had to do more than just impress; it had to intrigue, provoke, and promise something entirely new. And it delivers.

A bald, almost feral-looking Allu Arjun with animalistic arms and piercing kohl-lined eyes, Raaka wastes no time in setting the tone. Is this the actor’s foray into fantasy? Is there a mythical or werewolf-like arc at play? The questions are many, and that’s precisely where the film wins its first battle, curiosity.
