Not Allu Arjun, This Young Hero to Star in Arya 3
The Arya franchise holds a special place in the hearts of Allu Arjun fans. The first Arya movie brought him instant fame and a massive fan following. It also introduced director Sukumar to the Telugu film industry, who later created the national blockbuster Pushpa. Although Arya 2 didn’t meet expectations, fans still remember Bunny’s unique performance and the catchy songs.
Now, the buzz around Arya 3 is growing again. But this time, the big twist is that Allu Arjun will not be part of it. Instead, producer Dil Raju is planning to make the film with his family hero Ashish. Since Dil Raju produced the first part, there are no issues with the title rights. And as Allu Arjun is not expected to return for a third part, giving the role to Ashish seems logical.
However, there are doubts in the industry. Can Ashish carry the weight of such a big legacy when he doesn’t have a major hit yet? To support the project, Sukumar is said to be involved with the screenplay and dialogues. If his writing shines, the film could attract both theatre and OTT audiences.
There’s talk that Arya 3 will bring a fresh surprise in its storyline, similar to the “one-sided love” concept in the original. The hero’s character is expected to be unique and unexpected. Interestingly, Ashish had earlier worked on a film titled Selfish, also written by Sukumar, but the project was shelved. Arya 3 might be a replacement for that shelved film.
Currently, Ashish is working on another movie called Dethadi, a mass-action film set in a Telangana backdrop. The first-look poster was recently released. Dil Raju’s goal is to give Ashish a strong career in Tollywood, and Arya 3 could be the turning point if everything goes right.
