Allu Arjun is a busy man now. He is currently busy with Pushpa Part 1 and he will be working on the second instalment of duology and also a project titled ‘Icon’ which was announced a long while back. He has his plate full at the moment and doesn’t have any gap for a new project. However, that hasn’t stopped the Allu hero from picking up the remake rights of a Malayalam blockbuster.
As per the latest reports, Allu Arjun has acquired the Telugu remake rights of the recent Malayalam blockbuster Nayattu, a survival drama thriller. Allu Arjun plans to materialize the Telugu remake of Nayattu very soon. However, it needs to be said that Nayattu doesn’t quite suit the star image Allu Arjun enjoys. While one of the three principal characters in the film is a lady, the other is a middle-aged man. The third character is a tricky one and it doesn’t quite have the elevation blocks or the commercial appeal that one would expect from an Allu Arjun starrer. Moreover, the story as a whole doesn’t have the kind of commercial aspect which would suit Allu Arjun’s image.
Allu Arjun himself would be well aware of the same and he wouldn’t be risking too much, given the fact that he will attain pan-India stardom after the release of his maiden pan-India film, Pushpa. He will be planning only big-budget and larger than life projects post Pushpa. So, the chances of him acting in the Telugu remake of Nayattu are very bleak.
Incidentally, Allu Arjun has been trying to produce films under his own production house. He even rented a special office for his own production house. He might well be looking to kickstart his first production, which could be a remake of Nayattu. He might rope in other young and talented actors for the lead roles in the remake. Either way, more details about the project will be out only after an official announcement is out. We need to wait for the same. But as of now, Allu Arjun’s focus is on Pushpa Part 1 which is in final leg of shoot.
