Get ready for some major movie magic! The Indian film world is super excited because a huge new movie project has been confirmed. Top Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone will star with famous Tollywood actor Allu Arjun in director Atlee's next big film. For now, it's called "AA22xA6." This movie is being made by Sun Pictures and promises to be a giant, action-packed science fiction film. Everyone is already talking about it, and it's expected to be a game-changer for Indian movies.
The news broke with a special video shared by Sun Pictures, and it made waves everywhere online! The video showed Deepika Padukone talking seriously with director Atlee. Then, we saw bits of her getting ready for what looks like a tough, action-filled role. There were drawings of her character holding a big axe and jumping around. There was also a video of her doing a promo shoot on a fake horse with special sensors, hinting that her character will be very strong and active.
This will be the first time Deepika Padukone and Allu Arjun act together. Fans from both Bollywood and Tollywood are super keen to see their chemistry and how they perform. Allu Arjun, who recently had a huge hit with "Pushpa: The Rise" and is waiting for "Pushpa 2: The Rule," is known for his powerful screen presence and playing many different kinds of characters. Early reports say that he might play three different roles in "AA22xA6"! This shows how big Atlee's plan for the movie is. It's rumored that these three characters will look and act very differently, which will be a big and exciting challenge for the "Icon Star."
Atlee is the brilliant director behind smash hits like "Mersal," "Bigil," and the Shah Rukh Khan movie "Jawan." He is famous for his grand stories, amazing action scenes, and how he mixes popular entertainment with strong emotions. He worked with Deepika Padukone before in "Jawan," and that movie was a massive success. Them working together again for "AA22xA6" makes everyone even more eager for the film.
People close to the movie's production say that Atlee is working very hard to make sure "AA22xA6" looks incredible, as good as international science fiction movies. The budget is said to be between ₹600 to ₹700 crores (that's 6 to 7 billion Indian rupees!). The team has reportedly brought in top visual effects (VFX) artists from around the world, including Lola VFX, to create an amazing movie experience. The story is rumored to involve time travel, promising a complicated and thrilling plot.
Deepika Padukone joining the film comes after some recent talks about her leaving another movie, "Spirit," which was being directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. While it wasn't officially confirmed, some industry whispers said there were disagreements about work conditions and how much she would be paid. Her quickly moving to an action-heavy role in a big Atlee movie is seen by many as a strong statement and a smart move. It will make her even more of a pan-Indian superstar who can take on many different roles and projects.
"AA22xA6" was first announced on Allu Arjun's 43rd birthday in April. A video showed him meeting Atlee and the producer Kalanithi Maran from Sun Pictures. He also visited VFX studios in Los Angeles. This early look showed how big and ambitious the movie is and how it will use the best visual effects. While the main actors are confirmed, there are also rumors that other popular actresses like Kriti Sanon, Janhvi Kapoor, and Mrunal Thakur might join the cast. They could play romantic interests for Allu Arjun's different roles.
The movie is now getting everything ready, and filming is expected to start in the middle of 2025. "AA22xA6" is planned to release in theaters around 2026 or 2027. This exciting combination of talents – Allu Arjun, Deepika Padukone, and Atlee, under the respected Sun Pictures banner – is set to be a huge event in Indian cinema. It promises a movie journey that audiences worldwide will never forget. Get ready for a truly "magnum opus" (a great work of art) that could change Indian entertainment forever.
