Allu Arjun also is trying for pan India appeal for his upcoming film Icon. The stylish star is bowled over by the script of Icon narrated by director Sriram Venu of MLA fame.
He immediately has given nod to it and it will be produced by Dil Raju.
It will take a while for this film to start rolling as Allu Arjun is currently busy with Ala Vaikuntapuramulo and with Sukumar in the waiting for #AA20.
However, pre production work of Icon is going on at a brisk pace. Allu Arjun wanted someone like Alia Bhatt as the female lead in it.
Despite efforts from Allu Arjun and Dil Raju, the #RRR actress didn't accept the offer due to her busy Bollywood schedules. Therefore, they are now considering Disha Patani for the same role.
Disha also is one of the fastest rising stars in Bollywood now. She was recently approached for Akhil - Bhaskar's film, but she hasn't shown much interest to be a part of it. Also she is reportedly quoting Rs. 4 Cr to do a Telugu film now.
Budget wouldn't be an issue for Allu Arjun's film, which means they would settle for Disha Patani as the female lead to get that extra boost in North Indian markets.
