Allu Arjun Outshines SRK and Salman, Charges 175 Crore for Atlee’s Next Film

Allu Arjun, India’s highest-paid actor, on the set of Pushpa-2, gearing up for his 175 crore Atlee film A6.

According to reports, Allu Arjun has mirrored one most exemplary successful career spans in cinema, far ahead of Bollywood icons Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, who are second in race. Recently, Telugu superstar Allu Arjun’s Pushpa-2 claimed success by breaking all records in cinema, making a grand total of 1800 crore rupees around the world, and the recent report paints a picture of Allu being paid heavily for his immediate next venture at 175 crore.

The untitled film is directed by Jawan director Atlee and is tentatively called A6, further amplifying Arjun’s whopping rise to stardom. Sources in Pinkvilla have cited that beyond the already big volumes paid to Arjun, the director will also share with him 15% of the profits of Sun Pictures’ movie, showcasing Allu Arjun’s clout in Indian cinema. Pushpa-2 made Arjun 300 crore; talk about in backbreaking, unbelievable numbers Allu Arjun is not even exercising the rule book of stardom.

A Game-Changing Collaboration with Atlee

The buzz surrounding ‘Allu Arjun’ and the next project sounds like thunder, and denoting it just thus would be poor understatement. With Atlee in the mix, the man who directed the Shah Rukh Khan-starring blockbuster Jawan in 2023, the expectations of a mass entertainer are set to be ever-so-high. A6 is described as a masala entertainer, with touches of creativity in his visual style, including an alluring screenplay, with an introduction that tastes like something from Atlee’s book: one bigger than life for Allu. Shooting is expected to commence sometime in August 2025, and wrapping up by October would give fans a lot to look forward to.

This one seems just about right after ‘Pushpa-2’ cemented his pan-India appeal. Atlee, fresh from his Bollywood success, now has his eyes set on further conquering the South with another possible blockbuster alongside Arjun. The stakes could not be higher, and everybody’s eyes are firmly glued on this dynamic duo.

The Road Ahead: Solidifying a Legacy

The change from being a regional star to a national symbol has been awe-inspiring. And there is indeed a responsibility that applies to it. After Pushpa, choosing the right scripts is, after all, very vital for continuing his dual success. A6 might just do the trick between commercial significance and creative aspiration without specific announcement speculation buzzing among the fans. By now, Arjun has gone ahead of all his contemporaries in fees and box-office pull, and the 175 crore deal of Arjun himself heralds a different era in Indian cinema-an era where he exists the sole king. With August 2025 approaching, anxiously waiting for yet another potential turning point in his glorious career.
