Allu Arjun's Father Dismisses Mumbai Relocation Rumors Amid Raaka Shoot
Speculation has been swirling around Allu Arjun's potential temporary move to Mumbai as he works on the highly anticipated sci-fi film Raaka, directed by Atlee and co-starring Bollywood icon Deepika Padukone. However, his father, Allu Aravind, has stepped in to set the record straight, firmly denying any such plans.
Clarification from Allu Aravind
In a recent interview with Deccan Chronicle, Allu Aravind addressed the rumors head-on, stating, "No. Since his current film is being shot in Mumbai, it may appear that way. But Hyderabad is where Allu's heart and home are." He emphasized that the actor's family, including his children who are studying there, and all his loved ones are based in Hyderabad, making a move unnecessary. Aravind questioned the logic behind such a relocation, adding, "Why would he move to Mumbai?"
Hyderabad Remains the Primary Base
Despite the ongoing shoot for Raaka in Mumbai, Allu Arjun will continue to travel between the two cities based on the film's schedule. However, Hyderabad will steadfastly remain his primary residence and professional hub. Reports confirm that there are no intentions for him to relocate to Mumbai to expand his presence in other film industries. While Arjun is actively working on pan-Indian projects like Pushpa and the upcoming Raaka, his base of operations will stay unchanged, ensuring stability for his personal and family life.
Personal Milestones for the Raaka Team
Amid the professional developments, the Raaka team has celebrated significant personal moments. Director Atlee recently announced the arrival of a baby girl with his wife, Priya Atlee. Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone and her husband, actor Ranveer Singh, shared the joyful news of their second pregnancy through a heartwarming social media post.
What's Next for Allu Arjun
On the career front, Allu Arjun is gearing up for another exciting collaboration. He is set to work with acclaimed director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his action-thriller cinematic universe, on a project tentatively titled AA23. This venture is expected to commence production later this year, adding to Arjun's diverse portfolio of roles across different languages and genres.
