The highly anticipated collaboration between Telugu superstar Allu Arjun and acclaimed director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, initially announced in March 2023 by Sandeep Reddy Vanga's banner and T-Series, is currently on an indefinite hold. Multiple reports indicate that the project, which generated considerable buzz among fans, is shelved or on the back burner due to the packed professional commitments of both the actor and the director. Sandeep Reddy Vanga is fully occupied with his upcoming directorial ventures. He is actively involved in the production of 'Spirit,' starring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri, which is slated for a 2026 release. Following 'Spirit,' Vanga is set to begin shooting for 'Animal Park,' the sequel to his blockbuster film 'Animal,' with Ranbir Kapoor. This project is expected to commence between 2026 and 2027, effectively tying up the director's schedule until at least 2027 or 2028. Consequently, his film with Allu Arjun cannot go on floors anytime soon. Similarly, Allu Arjun also has a busy slate of films. He is currently working on 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' and has several other major projects in the pipeline. He is collaborating with director Atlee on a film tentatively titled 'AA22xA6,' co-starring Deepika Padukone, which is projected for a 2026 or 2027 release. Most recently, on January 14, 2026, Allu Arjun officially announced his 23rd film, 'AA23' (also known as LK7 or AALoki), with director Lokesh Kanagaraj, with production slated to begin in August 2026 for a 2027 release. While there is no official confirmation of the project being completely cancelled, its initiation appears highly unlikely in the immediate future given the existing commitments of both prominent figures in the Indian film industry.
