Today, Sukumar is one of the top filmmakers in India. After the record-breaking success of Pushpa 2, his stature has risen significantly. He is now set to make another pan-India film with Ram Charan, marking their second collaboration after Rangasthalam.
Meanwhile, Sukumar is also planning “Arya 3,” the third installment in the Arya franchise, which began with his directorial debut. Both “Arya” and “Arya 2” starred Allu Arjun and were produced by Dil Raju. However, the third part will not feature Allu Arjun, as he has now transitioned to larger-scale films and is no longer associated with youthful dramas.
In place of Allu Arjun, Ashish will step in.
Ashish Reddy Velamakucha, the son of producer Shirish of SVC, has acted in a couple of films, including “Rowdy Boys” and “Love Me.” He is currently working on “Dethadi.” Now, his father Shirish has pulled off a coup by convincing Sukumar to come on board for “Arya 3” with Ashish in the lead role.
Sukumar will write the screenplay and co-produce “Arya 3,” but he will not direct it. The film will be promoted on a grand scale, with music composed by Devi Sri Prasad.
