Production banner Shine Screens, which has produced films like Tuck Jagadish and Bhagavanth Kesari among others, is now reportedly planning to collaborate with Malayalam director Vipin Das for a film project. According to reports, the production house is in talks with Pushpa 2 star Allu Arjun to headline the film.
Vipin Das is most popular for his 2022 film Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey. He also directed the Prithviraj Sukumaran starrer Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil which released earlier this year.
It’s not confirmed whether the reported collaboration plans are for a Telugu film or Malayalam film. However, if the reports about a Malayalam film project are true, this will be Allu Arjun’s first film outside Telugu cinema.
It is to be noted that Allu Arjun has a considerable fan following in the state of Kerala. A few days ago, while attending a promotional event in Kerala, Allu said on stage, “I call my fans ‘my army.’ You know who started this word army? My Kerala fans. It is from them that I got inspired to use it everywhere. Now all the fans call themselves ‘the army’ — it started in Kerala.” In the first two days at the box office, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule has garnered Rs 6.80 crore in its Malayalam version.
Meanwhile, Vipin Das and Shine Screen producer Sahu Garupati are already co-producing a Malayalam film titled Vysanasametham Bandhumithradhikal. The film was launched officially three weeks ago.
