The movie ‘Icon’ featuring Allu Arjun was initially announced with great fanfare under the production of Dil Raju, with Venu Sriram as the director. The project generated a lot of buzz when it was first announced, but it never materialized, and Allu Arjun went on to sign up for ‘Pushpa.’
Despite the delay in the project, Dil Raju has recently renewed the title, indicating that he still has an interest in making the film. Allu Arjun, who has now earned the nickname of “Icon Star” due to his Pan- Indian appeal, has expressed his commitment to the project on several occasions. However, he has not announced a specific timeline for the movie.
It has been reported that Allu Arjun is not keen on working with new directors after the failure of his film ‘Naa Peru Surya.’ Therefore, the project may need a star director to come on board to handle the script for the movie to move forward.
Although Venu Sriram has delivered a super hit with ‘Vakeel Saab,’ his collaboration with Allu Arjun for the movie ‘Icon’ failed to take off. It remains to be seen whether the project will kick off anytime soon or remain in the news as a project that never materialized.
