Atlee and Allu Arjun`s next has been called off after the director asked for a fee of Rs 80 crore. The filmmaker is scouting for another actor to team up with for his next

Allu Arjun and Atlee
After the release of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan last September, Atlee was teaming up with Pushpa: The Rise (2021) actor Allu Arjun for his next directorial venture. However, rumours are rife that the yet-untitled film has been called off four months before it was slated to go on floors. Sources in Tollywood attribute it to filmmaker’s high asking fee of R80 crore. Geetha Arts, which was said to be producing the Allu-Atlee collaboration, found the director’s remuneration unreasonably high and unviable. Interestingly, none of the other producers working with the actor are willing to pay that kind of money to Atlee. Consequently, the filmmaker is scouting for another actor to team up with for his next. On the other hand, Arjun, who is gearing up for Pushpa 2: The Rule, will have to figure out what he will work on after wrapping up Sukumar’s directorial venture later this month.
