Allu Arjun Set to Collaborate with Malayalam Director Basil Joseph for Next Film

After Pushpa 2, many expected Icon Star Allu Arjun to team up once again with wizard of words Trivikram for a hat-trick film. However, Bunny is instead working on a massive project with director Atlee, which is said to be on par with Hollywood standards. Even before this film is completed, discussions have already begun about which director Bunny will collaborate with next. Amid speculation that he might return to work with Trivikram, Bunny Vas from Geetha Arts clarified that the next big announcement would be something unexpected, not a Trivikram film.

Recently, Bunny Vas tweeted that the next Bunny film is not with Trivikram but a surprising new combination, increasing curiosity among fans. Upon investigation, the name that surfaced was Malayalam director Basil Joseph. He is best known for the 2021 Netflix hit Minnal Murali, which brought him wide recognition. He also won hearts of Telugu audiences with the satirical comedy Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey.

With buzz growing that the Bunny–Basil Joseph combo is confirmed, discussions have started about whether this will become a bridge between the Malayalam and Telugu film industries. Allu Arjun has a massive fan following in Kerala, where he is fondly known as "Mallu Arjun." A collaboration with a creative Malayalam director like Basil Joseph is being seen as a festive treat for Kerala audiences. Reportedly, the project is in the script development stage, and an official announcement from Geetha Arts is likely in the next four months. Whether this combo is locked or another surprise awaits is now the most interesting question.
