Is Allu Arjun Moving to Mumbai from Hyderabad for Raaka Shooting?

A fresh wave of rumours surrounding Telugu superstar Allu Arjun has taken over social media, with speculation claiming that the actor is planning to shift his base from Hyderabad to Mumbai. The buzz grew stronger as reports suggested he has been spending extended time in Mumbai amid his packed shooting schedule for director Atlee’s high-budget film Raaka , co-starring Deepika Padukone.

The chatter quickly snowballed into claims that the actor might temporarily relocate for a few years due to back-to-back schedules and large-scale sets being constructed in Mumbai. But the truth, according to his family, is far more grounded.

Putting all speculation to rest, Allu Aravind has firmly dismissed the rumours, calling them “absolutely baseless.” He clarified that Hyderabad remains Allu Arjun’s permanent home , and there is no plan of shifting base to Mumbai—even temporarily.

“He is very much settled in Hyderabad. His children study here, his family is here, and his life is here. Why would he move?” Aravind reportedly said, brushing off the buzz with a mix of clarity and humour.

What is true, however, is that Mumbai has become a temporary workplace hub for the actor. As per production details around Raaka , massive set work and long shooting schedules have made it necessary for Allu Arjun to stay in the city for extended periods. Industry sources also point out that the film demands him to portray multiple looks and avatars, requiring continuous presence on set rather than short visits.

This intense schedule has led to frequent travel between Hyderabad and Mumbai , which is what reportedly triggered the relocation rumours in the first place. Some early reports even speculated a “2–3 year stay,” but those claims have now been consistently denied by people close to the actor.

Interestingly, insiders also note that while Allu Arjun is expanding his pan-India footprint with big Bollywood collaborations, there is no intention of leaving Telugu cinema’s base or shifting his personal life away from Hyderabad.

With Aravind’s clarification, the narrative around a permanent Mumbai move appears to be nothing more than fan-fuelled speculation amplified by his busy shooting calendar.

For now, Allu Arjun remains rooted in Hyderabad , while Mumbai continues to be just another stop on his expanding cinematic journey .
