Trivikram Outwits Altee, Nelson; Gets Ready for Allu Arjun

Hyderabad: If reliable sources are to be believed, ace Telugu director Trivikram Srinivas elbowed out Tamil directors Atlee of ‘Jawan’ fame and Nelson Dilipkumar of ‘Jailer’ fame and is getting ready to direct hotshot star Alllu Arjun in his next. “After directing Mahesh Babu in ‘Guntur Kaaram’, Trivikram Srininvas would be directing Allu Arjun and it would be a crazy combination of sorts,” says a source.

Actually, Allu Arjun and Trivikram launched their new film as ‘AA 22’ a few months ago and it was billed to be socio fantasy, while recent reports clarified that it would be inspired by epic Mahabharata.

“In-between, Allu Arjun met Tamil directors like Atlee and Nelson and discussed doing a project. In fact, Nelson even narrated an interesting story to Allu Arjun and both agreed to join hands for a multilingual film. However, Allu Arjun is more inclined to do a film with Trivikram after ‘Pushpa 2’ since he wanted to do a different kind of movie,” adds the source.

In fact, the actor-director duo have delivered big hits like ‘Julayi’,‘S/o Satyamurthy’ and record breaking hit ‘Ala Vaikuntapurramlo’ to establish themselves as a heady combination in the Telugu film industry. “Bunny has complete trust in the director since he can blend love, action and family drama with consummate ease and now they are looking to do another film to reach greater heights,” he concludes.
