Atlee, the director celebrated for blending mass appeal with strong emotions in films like Jawan, is now teaming up with Allu Arjun for his next ambitious project, tentatively titled AA22xA6. With a staggering budget of around ₹600 crore, the film is being designed as a massive pan-Indian spectacle, aiming to set new benchmarks in action, visuals, and VFX.
Atlee, who began his journey as assistant to filmmaker Shankar, quickly established himself with his debut Raja Rani. His collaborations with Thalapathy Vijay in Theri, Mersal, and Bigil not only smashed box office records but also cemented his signature mass + emotion formula. Later, he conquered Bollywood with Jawan (2023), starring Shah Rukh Khan, which turned into a blockbuster and won Khan a National Award. Naturally, the anticipation for his next film has been sky-high.
In AA22xA6, Allu Arjun—currently riding high after Pushpa: The Rule—takes the lead. Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has been roped in as the female lead, a casting choice that has already set the internet buzzing. Reports also confirm that veteran actress Ramya Krishnan, admired for her iconic roles in Padayappa and Baahubali, will play a pivotal character, bringing emotional depth to this high-octane entertainer.
The film will also feature international technicians, ensuring its action sequences and VFX match global standards. With such a powerful team—Atlee’s proven storytelling, Arjun’s unmatched popularity, Deepika’s star power, and Ramya Krishnan’s versatility—the project is being touted as one of the grandest cinematic celebrations in recent times.
Fans are eagerly awaiting further announcements as the film prepares to go on floors soon. If all goes as expected, AA22xA6 may redefine what a pan-Indian blockbuster looks like on the world stage.
