The actor Pooja Hegde is in discussions to feature alongside Allu Arjun in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s upcoming film, currently referred to as AA23 or LK07. While there has been no official confirmation from the production team regarding her casting, various reports indicate that she is being considered for the lead female role in this anticipated project.

Pooja’s involvement, if confirmed, would be her third collaboration with Allu Arjun, following the successful films DJ: Duvvada Jagannadham and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. Both previous films reportedly achieved significant commercial success, contributing to their popularity in the film industry.

Additionally, Pooja has previously worked with director Lokesh Kanagaraj, although in a limited capacity. She made a cameo in the song “Monica” from the film Coolie, which starred the legendary Rajinikanth. This song was composed by Anirudh Ravichander, adding to the collaborative efforts in the Tamil film domain.

Details of AA23

The film AA23 is characterised as a high-scale action entertainer, with Allu Arjun portraying the lead role. The initial teaser for the film has gained attention, particularly for its stylish presentation. In the teaser, Allu Arjun is depicted wearing the silver kada, a men’s bangle commonly associated with Lokesh Kanagaraj’s filmmaking style, suggesting a Western-inspired action theme.

Music for the film will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander, marking a new musical partnership with Allu Arjun. Recently, the ’23 Theme’, crafted by the music producer Heisenberg, has also caught public interest and gone viral on platforms such as Instagram, further enhancing anticipation for the film.

Director Rathna Kumar, who frequently collaborates with Lokesh Kanagaraj, has described AA23 as “a proper pan-Indian film.” This description underscores the film’s potential for international appeal, adding to the excitement surrounding its release. This project is particularly noteworthy, as it is the first time Allu Arjun and Lokesh Kanagaraj have worked together.

On his upcoming projects, Allu Arjun is set to star in the film Raaka, to be directed by Atlee. This film is anticipated to utilise substantial CGI and VFX technology, marking a significant technical undertaking. Deepika Padukone has been confirmed as the female lead, while Rashmika Mandanna is rumoured to portray an antagonist role. The music for Raaka will be composed by Sai Abhyankkar.

Pooja Hegde is poised to appear in the film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai alongside Varun Dhawan and Mrunal Thakur, which is scheduled for release on June 5. Furthermore, she has several upcoming projects, including Jana Nayagan, Kanchana 4, and DQ41, indicating a busy schedule ahead in her acting career.
