The praise from Allu Arjun comes at an interesting time, as the actor and Lokesh Kanagaraj are set to collaborate on a much-anticipated project. Tentatively titled AA23, the film is currently in the pre-production stage.
While details about AA23 are being kept under wraps, the project is among the most awaited films in Allu Arjun's line-up.
Apart from AA23, Allu Arjun is also gearing up for Raaka, which is being directed by Atlee. The film is currently in production and has a star-studded cast, including Deepika Padukone, Rashmika Mandanna, Janhvi Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur.
