Mumbai, India – July 12, 2025: Indian cinema superstar Allu Arjun is set to take on an ambitious new project with director Atlee, known for blockbuster hits like Jawan. The upcoming film, tentatively titled AA22xA6, is generating buzz worldwide, with reports suggesting that Allu Arjun will portray four distinct characters: a grandfather, a father, and two sons. This marks a bold new venture for the actor, who has never played multiple roles in a single film before.
The movie, backed by Sun Pictures, promises to be a grand sci-fi action spectacle with a budget reportedly exceeding ₹600 crore (around $72 million USD). Set in a parallel universe, the film aims to blend high-energy action, emotional storytelling, and cutting-edge visual effects, positioning it as a landmark cinematic event for global audiences.
Sources close to the production reveal that Atlee initially hesitated to have Allu Arjun play all four roles but was convinced after a successful look test showcased the actor’s versatility. “Allu Arjun insisted on taking on all four characters, and the results were stunning. Audiences will see four unique versions of him for the price of one ticket,” a source shared with Bollywood Hungama.
The film is expected to feature a star-studded cast, with names like Deepika Padukone, Janhvi Kapoor, and Mrunal Thakur rumored to be in talks for key roles. There’s also speculation about a Hollywood actor, possibly Will Smith, joining as the antagonist, which could make this one of the biggest cross-cultural collaborations in Indian cinema history.
Filming is underway in Mumbai, with additional work in Los Angeles for advanced VFX and animation. The movie is slated for a 2027 release, aiming to deliver a visually spectacular experience that blends Indian storytelling with international appeal. Atlee has described the project as a “dream come true,” emphasizing its mix of “mass entertainment and magical storytelling.”
Allu Arjun, fresh off the massive success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, which grossed over $210 million globally, continues to solidify his status as a pan-India icon. His collaboration with Atlee, known for delivering high-octane entertainers, has fans across the globe eagerly awaiting what could be a game-changer for Indian cinema.
