National Award winning Telugu Superstar Allu Arjun has set social media on fire after a highly cryptic online update from the renowned Malayalam filmmaker and actor Basilio Joseph. While the official confirmation on a pan-Indian collaboration remains under wraps, the ‘Minnal Murali’ director recently shared a viral Instagram story featuring an ‘Icon’ cap paired with a hit song from ‘Arya 2’, leading fans to believe that the long-rumored project tentatively titled ‘AA24’ is officially on.
Basil Joseph’s ‘Icon’ post adds fuel to ‘AA24’ rumours.
The buzz started when Basil Joseph shared a picture of a cap bearing the word ‘Icon’, a title closely associated with Allu Arjun. He also added a popular song from ‘Arya 2’ to the story, making fans even more convinced that the post was connected to the Pushpa starrer. Soon after, social media was flooded with discussions about the rumored collaboration, with many referring to the project as #AA24. While the post has certainly grabbed attention, there has been no official confirmation from Basil Joseph or Allu Arjun about the film.
A rumored collaboration is expected after Allu Arjun completes current commitments
If Basil Joseph’s project materializes, it might start only after Allu Arjun completes his ongoing commitments. The actor is currently working on Atlee-directed ‘Raaka’, one of his most ambitious films with extensive CGI and visual effects. He is also expected to make the team Lokesh Kanagaraj for another high-profile project, ‘AA23’, which has already generated a lot of excitement after the recently released teaser video. Earlier rumors had linked Basil Joseph’s film with the ‘Shaktimaan’ project, but writer Arun Anirudhan clarified that the reported collaboration would be a completely new story and not related to the superhero film.
Fans eagerly await an official announcement on ‘AA24’
If the collaboration becomes official, it will be the first time that Basil Joseph and Allu Arjun are working together, making it one of the most anticipated pairings in South Indian cinema. Basil Joseph, who won accolades for directing ‘Minnal Murali’, has built a strong reputation for combining commercial entertainment with fresh narratives. He was last seen in ‘Athiradi’ alongside Tovino Tomás and also did a cameo in ‘Mollywood Times’. For now, the release of the “Icon” remains just a tease, but it’s been enough to keep fans talking as they wait for an official announcement about the much talked about “AA24” project.
