There was a gossip that was making rounds in the Film Nagar that Allu Arjun was suffering from ‘bone marrow cancer’ and he was affected with the disease due to the intake of steroids to build up his body during the shooting of ‘Desamuduru’ for the sake of a six-pack appearance. Afterwards, he took treatment at an undisclosed location abroad and is out of danger, as the disease was detected at a very early stage and there is no big harm to the Stylish Star.
He is presently playing one among the heroes in ‘Vedam’ directed by Jagarlamudi Krishnamurthy @ Krish, of ‘Gamyam’-fame, in association with Manchu Manojkumar. Anushka is playing the female lead and Manoj Bajpai is playing a key role in this flick. According to Allu Arjun, he is playing the role of Cable Seenu. Sources from the film industry say that the film had a tragic end. Both the heroes including Allu Arjun and Manoj would die in the climax. This different film is all set for release on May 20.
Allu Arjun says, ‘Several well-wishers questioned me why I accepted this small budget film, when I enjoy a star status. It is an effort to enhance the image of the Telugu cinema and to thwart the apprehensions that we are against working in multi-starrer films. Definitely the film would become a trend-setter among the present generation films.’
