Director Atlee, earlier announced that he is doing a Telugu movie and will direct a big star. He is one of the most popular young directors, as he is been able to make three blockbusters and two of them with Tamil Thalapathy, Vijay as the hero. The director has earned a good following in Telugu too with Raja Rani and Mersal. Many thought his next film will be Telugu.
Some rumours stated that he met Jr. NTR, Prabhas, Allu Arjun and Mahesh Babu for discussions. Few even suggested that Allu Arjun has almost confirmed his project as a Telugu and Tamil, bilingual with him. But the director at a recent awards event made sure that he is not planning any Telugu movie in near future. He said that he has plans to enter into Telugu market but he doesn’t want to do it immediately. He is planning to make another movie with Vijay and it will start after Vijay completes his film with A.R. Murugadoss.
There is another rumour that the director is more focused on making a movie with Jr. NTR. He likes the attitude and dialogue delivery of the actor. As the actor is busy for two more years with Trivikram Srinivas and SS Rajamouli films, the director postponed his plans to make a film in Telugu and he is concentrating on working in Tamil and make another good film, there.
