After his debut in Telugu with the Chiranjeevi-starrer Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, Vijay 
Sethupathi will now be seen as a villain in Allu Arjun's new film, tentatively titled AA 20. The action entertainer, which marks the third collaboration of the Sarrainodu actor with Sukumar, is based on red sanders smuggling. 

"Vijay Sethupathi has become choosy about the films he tackles. Sukumar's storyline has impressed him and he has agreed in principle to work in the film. The duo will soon catch up for a detailed narration to find common ground over several aspects," reveals a source. 

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and set in the backdrops of Rayalaseema and Nellore, AA 20 will go on floors in December. "Sukumar has done a location recce in Nallamala forest to find exactly the right locations for the shoot and currently, the art department is busy with the set work. The team is determined to begin the shooting before the New Year," the source adds.

Notably, the Sindhubaadh actor, is also playing the antagonist in Panja Vaisshnav Tej's upcoming film Uppena.
