Get ready, Tollywood fans—Allu Arjun and KGF mastermind Prashanth Neel are joining forces for a massive movie tentatively called Ravanam, and it’s already got everyone buzzing. A June 24, 2025, report from Pinkvilla spilled the beans on this dream project, backed by big-shot producer Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations. With Allu Arjun riding high after Pushpa 2: The Rule smashed records, this collab with Neel promises to be a total game-changer.
Ravanam is reportedly Neel’s passion project, something he’s been itching to make for years. While the plot’s still hush-hush, expect Neel’s signature vibe—gritty, in-your-face action, larger-than-life characters, and visuals that’ll leave your jaw on the floor. Dil Raju, who’s no stranger to big wins like Varisu, is going all-in to make this a pan-Indian banger. The title Ravanam has a mythological ring, hinting at an epic story that could mix modern swagger with some cultural heft, just like Neel’s done before.
Allu Arjun’s the perfect pick for this. After Pushpa 2 raked in over ₹1000 crore worldwide, Bunny’s a pan-Indian rockstar, and his intense, charismatic energy is tailor-made for Neel’s larger-than-life heroes. Picture Pushparaj’s vibe cranked up to eleven. Even with a stacked schedule—shooting AA22xA6 with Atlee starting July 2025 and a mythological flick with Trivikram Srinivas—Allu Arjun’s making room for Ravanam. Fans are already losing it, imagining him tearing up the screen in Neel’s explosive style.
Timing’s a bit tricky, though. Neel’s juggling NTR31 (maybe called Dragon) with Jr. NTR for January 2026 and Salaar 2 with Prabhas, set to kick off next year. Word is Ravanam might start pre-production in January 2026, with cameras rolling later. This isn’t the first time these two have sparked rumors—back in 2021, a secret meet-up at Geetha Arts had fans buzzing, and now it’s finally happening.
Dil Raju’s bringing serious muscle to the table. Fresh off launching Lorven AI Studio, he’s all about pushing the envelope, and Ravanam could lean into high-tech VFX to match its epic scope. Raju’s been down this road before—he planned a Ravanam with Prabhas in 2023 that didn’t pan out, but now he’s locked in with Allu Arjun.
We don’t know much about the cast or story yet, but with Allu Arjun, Neel, and Raju in the mix, expectations are through the roof. Will Ravanam be another KGF-level earthquake or something totally new? Either way, this trio’s about to set the screen on fire. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as this beast comes to life.
