Pushpa 2 star Allu Arjun plans temporary move from Hyderabad, may shift base to Mumbai; here’s the reason
Hyderabad/Mumbai, April 20: Telugu superstar Allu Arjun is reportedly preparing for a major professional shift, with multiple credible media reports suggesting that the actor may temporarily move from Hyderabad to Mumbai for the next phase of his upcoming big-budget film project.
The reported move is linked to the production schedule of his much-anticipated next film, Raaka, directed by filmmaker Atlee. According to published reports, the shift is expected to be temporary and purely work-related, rather than a permanent relocation away from Hyderabad.
The development has sparked significant interest among fans, especially as Hyderabad has long remained the center of Allu Arjun’s personal and professional life.
Temporary move linked to film schedule
Reports indicate that the actor may stay in Mumbai for an extended period, possibly two to three years, depending on the film’s long shooting schedule.
The primary reason behind this move is said to be the logistical challenge of frequent travel between Hyderabad and Mumbai.
With Raaka being mounted as a large-scale pan-India production, the shooting schedule is expected to be extensive. Staying in Mumbai would help the actor avoid repeated travel and maintain a more consistent work routine during production.
Industry reports suggest that key portions of the film are being planned in Mumbai, making the temporary shift a practical decision.
Intense physical preparation said to be a major reason
Another major factor behind the reported move is the demanding physical transformation required for the role.
According to entertainment reports, Allu Arjun’s character in the film involves a significant makeover, including long prosthetic makeup sessions that may take several hours each day.
These sessions reportedly require three to four hours for application, followed by additional time for removal after shooting wraps.
Given such lengthy preparation hours, daily travel between cities would become highly impractical, making a temporary Mumbai stay the most feasible option.
Big project after Pushpa 2 success
The move comes at a crucial point in Allu Arjun’s career following the massive success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, which further strengthened his position as one of India’s leading pan-India stars.
Expectations around his next project are naturally high, and Raaka is already being seen as one of the biggest upcoming films in Indian cinema.
The film is widely reported to be a large-scale production with extensive action sequences and visual effects work.
Hyderabad remains his home base
Despite reports of the shift, there is no verified information suggesting that Allu Arjun is permanently leaving Hyderabad.
The actor continues to maintain deep personal and industry ties with the city, which remains the heart of Telugu cinema.
The reported move appears to be driven entirely by professional commitments related to the film’s production.
For fans, this development reflects the scale and seriousness of Allu Arjun’s next cinematic venture rather than any long-term personal relocation.
