Allu Arjun's 'Ravanam' with Prashanth Neel in the works? Producer reacts

Producer Dil Raju confirms Allu Arjun and Prashanth Neel's Ravanam but says filming will begin after their current commitments.

"“Our banner has planned a film titled Ravanam with Allu Arjun as the lead and Prashanth Neel as the director.” – Dil Raju"

Mumbai, July 2

Basking in the success of 'Pushpa 2', the admirers of Allu Arjun are always eager to know what he is up to. Reports have been doing rounds for some time that AA has joined forces with Prashanth Neel for his next titled "Ravanam".

Now, renowned producer Dil Raju has confirmed the collaboration. Speaking during a pre-release event for Nithiin starrer "Thammudu", he revealed that "Ravanam" has been planned out under his own banner, Sri Venkateswara Creations.

However, Dil Raju added that the project will go on the floors only once Allu Arjun and Prashanth Neel both are done with their present work commitments.

The producer was heard saying, “Our banner has planned a film titled Ravanam with Allu Arjun as the lead and Prashanth Neel as the director. However, the project will take time as both of them are currently busy with their existing commitments.”

At the moment, Allu Arjun is busy with his much-discussed pan-India release, "AA22", with Atlee. This yet-to-be-titled drama will also have Deepika Padukone as part of the core cast.

Welcoming Deepika onboard, the makers of "AA22", Sun Pictures, shared a tweet saying, "The Queen marches to conquer! Welcome onboard @deepikapadukone #TheFacesOfAA22xA6. #AA22xA6 - A Magnum Opus from Sun Pictures. @alluarjun @Atlee_dir #SunPictures #AA22 #A6"

As the makers announced "AA22", Sun Pictures treated the netizens with a video comprising of the technical crew of the flick.

Renowned VFX supervisor James Madigan said in the clip, “I just got done reading the script and I got to say, my head is still spinning.”

Mike Elizalde, the president of Spectral Motion added, "The script is seriously unlike anything I've ever read. It is the best of the best of what I would ever want to create."

On the other hand, Prashanth Neel is working on his next with Jr NTR, named "NTRNeel" for now. The untitled drama is expected to reach the cinema halls by January 2026.

Exciting news but why name it "Ravanam"? As an Indian, I feel we should move beyond mythological villain references for mass films. Otherwise super excited for this collaboration!

First Pushpa 2, then AA22 and now Ravanam? Allu Arjun is on a roll! But hope he doesn't overwork himself. Quality over quantity please 🙏

As someone new to Indian cinema, I'm amazed by the scale of these projects! The VFX supervisor's comment about the script has me really curious about AA22. When will it release internationally?

Dil Raju producing means it will be a proper commercial potboiler. But after Pushpa, I hope Allu Arjun doesn't get typecast as only doing mass roles. He's capable of much more!

Prashanth Neel's films have amazing world-building but sometimes lack emotional depth. Hope this time he balances both aspects. Allu Arjun can definitely bring that emotional connect if given the chance.

The Indian film industry is really stepping up its game globally. Between AA22's international crew and Neel's pan-India appeal, this is exciting times for cinema lovers worldwide!
