Director Atlee has decided to put all his eggs in one basket, concentrating entirely on his upcoming film with Arjun, a period drama set to release in 2027. This decision comes after Atlee's other projects, including an untitled Tamil film with Vijay Sethupathi and a film with Shahid Kapoor, were shelved due to lack of progress and underperformance of recent films. Atlee's focus on the Arjun-starrer is seen as a strategic move to ensure the film's success.
The untitled film with Arjun, produced by Sun Pictures, will feature the actor in a double role. Atlee's decision to prioritize this project is expected to be mutually beneficial, given the success of Atlee's previous films and Arjun's popularity. However, it remains to be seen whether this collaboration can break the records set by their individual previous films, which grossed over ₹1,000 crore.
Atlee's shelved projects include an untitled Tamil film with Vijay Sethupathi, which was supposed to go on floors in January but was put on hold after Baby John underperformed at the box office. Another project with Shahid Kapoor was also shelved due to the actor's unavailability and the underperformance of his last film Deva. A third project with Veer Pahariya, produced by Atlee's company A For Apple, has also seen no updates.
With Atlee's focus now solely on the Arjun-starrer, fans are eagerly waiting to see what this collaboration has in store. The period drama is set to begin production later this year, and with Atlee's track record of delivering successful films, expectations are high. Will this film live up to the hype and break records? Only time will tell.
