The official pooja of the Allu Arjun – Trivikram Srinivas project happened recently and the shooting will commence on April 24. Though the film began with the working title AA19, there are widespread speculations that it has been titled Alakananda. Sources in the know say that the filmmakers have three titles in mind for this film and Alakananda is one of it. However, there is no official word on it yet and the filmmakers are tight lipped about it. Allu Arjun and Trivikram Srinivas had worked together in Julai in 2012 and S/O Satyamurthy in 2015 and with AA19 being their third film together, fans are expecting a hat trick from the duo.
The film is being bankrolled jointly by Allu Aravind and S Radha Krishna under the banners Geetha Arts and Haarika & Hassine Creations respectively. The technical crew of this film includes S Thaman for music, PS Vinod for cinematography and Naveen Nooli for editing. Pooja Hegde has been roped in to play the female lead in AA19.
On bagging the offer, music composer S Thaman had tweeted, “My Second musical journey with #guruji #Trivikram sir. Can’t get a better opportunity to show my love and respect towards his brilliant writing. And #radhakrishna gaaru @haarikahassine. My hattrick with our Very own #StylishStar @alluarjun. God bless.”
Allu Arjun has two other films in the pipeline. While one is to be bankrolled by Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations and directed by Sriram Venu of Middle Class Abbayi fame and titled as Icon, the other is Sukumar directorial. Touted to be a romantic action drama with a typical Sukumar styled screenplay, it is said the story would revolve around the Sandalwood mafia.
