On the other hand, a second report stated that Atlee is collaborating with Allu Arjun. The source mentioned that Atlee was planning to work with Salman Khan after the superstar made a cameo appearance in Baby John.

For now, nothing has been confirmed by Atlee and it seems like the announcement will be huge for all the fans of the superstar who has been signed for a lead in his upcoming film.
Even if he signs Salman, it should turn out to be one of the most successful films in Salman’s filmography since Atlee is known for presenting his heroes differently.
As mentioned, Atlee won’t take any risk for now and since there is no official announcement so far, it looks like the director is taking baby steps before finalizing anything for his next.
