Buzz: Basil Joseph and Allu Arjun to Join Hands for a Pan-India Spectacle?

The latest buzz in the film industry circles is that Minnal Murali director Basil Joseph might be gearing up for a massive collaboration with Telugu superstar Allu Arjun. While no official confirmation has come from either side, trade sources and close-knit industry chatter suggest that a recent low-key meeting between Basil and Allu Arjun may have laid the foundation for a potential project. With Allu Arjun currently riding high on the Pushpa wave, a partnership with a creative mind like Basil is expected to generate massive excitement across industries.

Basil Joseph, known for his inventive storytelling and unique cinematic style, has helmed three successful films so far — Kunjiramayanam (2015), Godha (2017), and Minnal Murali (2021). All three films received critical acclaim and enjoyed commercial success, cementing Basil’s status as one of Malayalam cinema’s most promising directors. His ability to blend humour, emotion, and spectacle makes him an ideal choice for a high-stakes pan-India venture.

While Basil is reportedly already working on a film with Tamil superstar Suriya, the nature of his talks with Allu Arjun remains speculative. Some suggest that he may have narrated a separate script to Allu Arjun, fuelling discussions about two parallel pan-Indian projects. Whether the duo teams up for a superhero saga or a fresh original idea, the mere possibility of a Basil-Allu Arjun collaboration has created a ripple of anticipation among fans.

Mohanlal’s ‘Thudarum’ Creates History with ₹100 Crore Kerala Gross; First Ever in the History of Mollywood

Mohanlal has once again rewritten the history of Malayalam cinema with his latest blockbuster ‘Thudarum’, directed by Tarun Moorthy. The film has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first-ever Malayalam film to gross ₹100 crore from Kerala alone, accomplishing this feat within just 19 days of release. This marks an unprecedented achievement in the Kerala box office landscape, placing ‘Thudarum’ in a league of its own. Previously, Malayalam films like 2018 (₹89 crore), Empuraan (₹86 crore), and Pulimurugan (₹85 crore) came close to this benchmark, but none had crossed it until now.

The film’s success isn’t limited to the Kerala market. ‘Thudarum’ has stormed past the ₹200 crore mark globally, currently standing at ₹207 crore worldwide gross. It has earned ₹88 crore from overseas markets and is inching towards ₹20 crore from the rest of India. With this, ‘Thudarum’ becomes only the third Malayalam film to gross over ₹200 crore globally, joining the ranks of Empuraan (₹265 crore) and Manjummel Boys (₹241 crore). The film has also become the second Malayalam film to sell over 4 million tickets on BookMyShow, reflecting its massive popularity.

Mohanlal’s dominance continues as he now becomes the only Malayalam actor with two ₹200 crore films and four ₹100 crore films. From being the face of Malayalam cinema’s first ₹50 crore global grosser (Drishyam), first ₹50 crore Kerala grosser (Pulimurugan), first ₹100 crore global hit (Pulimurugan), to delivering ₹50 crore and ₹100 crore overseas grossers (Lucifer and Empuraan respectively), the legendary star continues to set new benchmarks. With two ₹200 crore films released in just a span of 45 days, Mohanlal’s unmatched box office reign shows no signs of slowing down.
