Mrunal Thakur with Dhanush- Allu Arjun ; A comeback Plan / Rajini - Siva / Dhruv- Mani


 Why Mrunal Thakur needs a Dhanush romance and an possible Allu Arjun film rumour to move forward in Filmdom ? After earning praise in Telugu cinema with Sita Ramam and Hi Nanna, her recent ventures in Bollywood haven’t seen the same success. Despite an impressive start with Super 30, her following Hindi films like Batla House and the recent Son of Sardaar 2 failed to make a mark at the box office.

Apart from the dating rumours , another one is now swirling about a possible film featuring Mrunal Thakur opposite Allu Arjun, with Atlee reportedly set to direct. Although nothing has been officially announced, the project has already sparked excitement among fans across language boundaries.
Given Allu Arjun’s massive following and Atlee’s strong commercial track record, such a film could provide Mrunal with the visibility she needs in both Hindi and South Indian markets. It could also help bridge her critical acclaim in Telugu cinema with a more bankable presence in Bollywood, something that has eluded her in recent years despite undeniable talent.
However, short-term attention isn’t enough to ensure long-term stardom. Sustained success depends on strong scripts, meaningful roles, and performances that resonate. Star power can open doors, but it is the creative choices that determine how long one stays in the spotlight

While directors Nithilan Saminathan, H. Vinoth, and Vivek Athreya are in talks with the legendary actor, a new speculation has surfaced on social media, and this is something that the fans didn’t wish for. Reportedly, Thalaivar might soon team up with Kanguva director Siruthai Siva. The project is said to be in its early stages, with discussions still ongoing.

Siruthai Siva delivered a disaster for the ages with Kanguva and was brutally trolled by netizens. If the Rajini–Siruthai Siva project materializes, it will mark their second collaboration after Annaatthe, which also received heavy criticism. Telugu producer Srinivasa Chitturi, who backed films like The Warriorr, Skanda, Seetimaar, Custody, and Naa Saami Ranga is likely to bankroll the biggie. After Beast debacle, Rajini went ahead and worked with Nelson but here the film was commercially a hit but a critical failure, Kanguva was a disaster on all fronts. Director Siva and actor Rajinikanth have collaborated on the movie "Annaatthe," which was released in 2021.


Lipika Varma of Deccan Chronicle reports : Actor Dhruv Vikram, son of renowned star Chiyaan Vikram, is set to collaborate with veteran filmmaker Mani Ratnam for an upcoming Tamil film, a source close to the project confirmed. Shedding light on the storyline, the source revealed, “It’s a simple Chennai-based love drama centered around a cop. Naturally, it’s a love story between a police officer and a city girl.” Interestingly, the source added that Mani Ratnam is returning to his roots with this project. “This time, Mani Ratnam is making a film purely in Tamil. It is not a pan-India film. However, the makers do plan to dub it in Telugu and Hindi after its release.”

Regarding the production schedule, the source shared, “Filming for this Dhruv-starrer is expected to begin in September 2025 and will wrap up in just 60 days, by February 2026. Interestingly, it is also said to be the most modestly budgeted film of Mani Ratnam’s career.”
Dhruv has recently wrapped up work on Bison, directed by Mari Selvaraj, which is scheduled for release on October 17, 2025, during the Diwali weekend.

Actress Rukmini Vasanth, whose last release didn’t fare well at the box office, has been roped in to play the female lead opposite Dhruv. She is currently shooting for NTR31.
