Telugu star and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan is reportedly considering a new film with producer Dil Raju. According to the latest reports, the actor has expressed his willingness to collaborate with the filmmaker, and preliminary discussions between the two have been encouraging.

If the project takes shape, it would mark their second association after 'Vakeel Saab'.

All about Pawan Kalyan-Dil Raju's collaboration

According to a report by Gulte, Dil Raju spoke about the proposed collaboration during the success meet of 'Ramayana and Scene'. He reportedly confirmed that he had held discussions with Pawan Kalyan about a possible film and expressed hope that the project would move forward. He also indicated that an official announcement would follow if the discussions materialise into a project.Pawan Kalyan is keen to complete the proposed film within four months as per the report. The actor is said to have offered 10 to 15 days every month for the shoot, provided the makers can wrap up the project within the stipulated timeframe. Dil Raju is reportedly exploring suitable scripts for the collaboration. However, the film is yet to be officially confirmed, and details about its director, cast and storyline remain unknown.

Pawan Kalyan had earlier collaborated with director Sujeeth on the action entertainer 'They Call Him OG'. The actor has also announced a sequel to the film, but Sujeeth is currently occupied with his upcoming project 'Bloody Romeo', starring Nani. The film is reportedly being made as a stylish action comedy, with Nani playing a character with two distinct identities — a chef and an outlaw. Given Sujeeth's current commitments, his next association with Pawan Kalyan may take some time to materialise.

Pawan Kalyan is reportedly keen to take up another project in the meantime rather than wait for his next collaboration with Sujeeth.

On work front and personal life

On the work front, Pawan Kalyan was last seen in director Harish Shankar's 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', which also featured Sreeleela and Raashii Khanna in the lead roles. The film had an underwhelming performance at the box office following its theatrical release.Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan and his wife Anna Konidela recently announced their decision to part ways after 13 years of marriage. The couple shared the announcement on November 10, 2026, bringing an end to their marriage.
