'The much ambitious Shaktimaan is now to be revived with Allu Arjun. Basil Joseph has been roped in to direct the mega venture. He's in talks with Allu Arjun to bring the superhero to life. The team wants to honour the nostalgic value of the original series while crafting a high-octane narrative with cutting-edge technology," a source told the portal. The source further revealed that this could be one of the biggest pan-India collaborations to date, with 'two big international studios and Geetha Arts teaming up, along with stakeholders from four different film industries." Though no official confirmation has been made yet, the speculation alone has sent fans into a frenzy. Allu Arjun's magnetic screen presence and recent pan-India success with the Pushpa franchise make him a strong contender for a role that demands both gravitas and mass appeal. If he signs on, watching him channel India's original superhero will be nothing short of a cinematic event. Meanwhile, Allu Arjun is also gearing up for another massive project — his upcoming film with director Atlee, co-starring Deepika Padukone. Currently in pre-production, this film too is expected to be a high-budget, multilingual release, with a reported release window sometime in 2027. First Published:
