Reportedly, SS Rajamouli and his father, KV Vijayendra Prasad have initiated a conversation with Allu Arjun to play the lead in their upcoming massive project. “The lockdown gave enough time to both SS Rajamouli and KV Vijayendra Prasad to revisit their ideas and bring them to the writing pad. There’s a subject with them that warrants the presence of Allu Arjun, and they have had two to three meetings with the Icon Star already,” revealed a source close to the development.
