New-age Tamil director Nelson Dilipkumar who had delivered blockbusters like ‘Jailer’, urged Telugu star Allu Arjun to attempt a straight Tamil film to reach out to Tamil viewers, who like his acting and dancing skills.
“I am not good in Telugu, whereas Allu Arjun was very fluent in Tamil and surprised me when I met him some time ago," says Nelson, claiming that the turnout in Patna stunned him.
When anchors at the pre-release event of 'Pushpa The Rule, asked him about shaking hands with Allu Arjun and sharing a few words, he ‘didn’t confirm’ their collaboration.
However, after the massive success of ‘Jailer,’ Nelson had a meeting with Allu Arjun in Hyderabad for a few hours and reportedly narrated a storyline to Bunny who immediately gave his nod to the story. “Nelson narrated an interesting story with a unique backdrop and loaded with enough action and entertainment.
Bunny, who is looking for something different these days, also liked the script in principle,” the source adds. It would be designed as a pan-India entertainer since Allu Arjun has gained popularity across India after ‘Pushpa’ and his craze is going to go a few notches up after ‘Pushpa2’. “Bunny will be doing Nelson film before moving to other projects,” the source concludes.

The magnum opus would be reportedly produced by Nallamallapu Bujji, who produced the blockbuster ‘Racegurram’ with Allu Arjun in the past and showed Allu Arjun in a new light.
