The duo’s forthcoming project is a grand-scale period saga, with a reincarnation theme, promising to captivate audiences with breathtaking visuals and unparalleled entertainment. This collaboration has sparked massive excitement across the film industry, with both Arjun and Atlee being known for their blockbuster hits.
