But now, a new report is further fueling curiosity, claiming the film may not have a female lead, which could be one of the biggest creative risks the film has taken. lokesh so far
“AA23” may not have a mature heroine
According to a 123 Telugu report, AA23 is expected to be a story-driven film dominated almost entirely by Allu Arjun and a few key male characters, leaving little room for a standout heroine. Earlier reports had linked the actress to Pooja Hegde But the latest speculation suggests those plans may not become part of the final script. If reports are to be believed, the film will go ahead without a heavy heroine and Lokesh has decided to focus on the protagonist and the main conflict. However, no official news has been released yet and fans are waiting for confirmation.
Lokesh Kanagaraj sticks to his signature narrative style
This recent craze reminds us of fans of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s early films, where the story was the hero and the commercial elements were just a part of the film. In “Katie” and “Vikram“‘s story is mostly about strong male heroes and villains, with barely any romantic tracks. Reports suggest that AA23 may follow the same formula, with Lokesh Kanagaraj once again prioritizing intense storytelling and action over a traditional male-heroine pairing. If that happens, it would mark another departure from the usual business model for big-budget entertainers.
Allu Arjun is gearing up for another ambitious project
While speculations surrounding AA23 are increasing, Allu Arjun is currently busy shooting for Raaka, directed by Atlee and starring Deepika Padukone as the female lead. The actor is expected to star in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film starting in August and expectations are already high. It remains to be seen whether the film ends up featuring a female protagonist or sticking to the male-dominated narrative reported. Before the makers officially announce the cast, the latest reports are likely to keep fans guessing about what Lokesh Kanagaraj and Allu Arjun have planned for their much-awaited collaboration.
