according to the http://www.pinkvilla,com
Aamir Khan Was Initially Considered for the Project
Lokesh Kanagaraj had originally planned his upcoming superhero film with Aamir Khan. However, according to recent updates, the director is now considering superstar Allu Arjun for the lead role.
Lokesh Kanagaraj to Step Into the Telugu Film Industry
So far, Lokesh Kanagaraj has primarily directed Tamil films. But reports suggest that he is soon set to make his debut in the Telugu film industry. The project for which he has approached Allu Arjun is said to be a superhero-based film. It is believed to be the same film that earlier involved Aamir Khan and Suriya in lead roles.
Impact of the ‘Kuli’ Backlash on the Project
Lokesh’s film Kuli had collected a massive ₹500 crore at the box office. Despite this, the film faced heavy trolling from the audience. Aamir Khan had also appeared in a cameo role in the film. Although the movie created huge hype before release, audiences later felt that the story lacked the expected depth.
This disappointment is believed to have affected Lokesh and Aamir’s next collaboration—this very superhero project. Reports suggest that Aamir Khan chose to step away from it. Following this, Lokesh took the project to Allu Arjun. The film is reportedly titled ‘Irambu Maya Kayavi’ and Lokesh has been working on its concept for a long time.
Suriya Was the First Choice
Initially, Lokesh had plans to cast Suriya in the film. Their collaboration was widely discussed for months. During this time, Aamir Khan unexpectedly became attached to the project. And now, with Aamir’s exit, Lokesh has approached Allu Arjun.
However, Allu Arjun has not taken a final decision yet, as he is currently busy with his project AA 2266.
