Bollywood and Tollywood unite! Allu Arjun, fresh off the chart‑breaking hit Pushpa 2, is set to redefine epic cinema in his upcoming collaboration with Jawan director Atlee. The project? A massive sci‑fi spectacle codenamed AA22 x A6 — and here’s our exclusive scoop: Allu stars in four distinct roles — spanning a grandfather, a father, and two sons!
A Quadruple-Role First in Indian Cinema
Multiple roles are not new — but four different generations? New territory. Reliable Bollywood Hungama sources reveal:
- Grandfather (elder statesman)
- Father (the patriarch)
- Son #1 (one timeline)
- Son #2 (alternate timeline)
This ambitious casting twist was Allu’s brainchild — initially, Atlee planned two roles and different actors for the rest. But after look tests, they agreed: one man, four avatars, one cinematic ride.
Biggest Indian Movie Yet
This sci-fi adventure is more than a multirole showcase. It’s positioned as a visual tour de force:
- Reported ₹600–800 crore budget — second only to SSMB29
- Heavy investment in VFX and production design, with international teams attached
- Described by Atlee as a parallel‑universe saga combining high-octane action and emotional depth
Star‑Studded Cast
This isn’t just an Allu show:
- Deepika Padukone, Janhvi Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur, and Rashmika Mandanna round out the female leads.
- Rashmika surprises again as the film’s main villain, reuniting with Allu after Pushpa glory.
- Production by Sun Pictures and Geetha Arts, blending South India’s artistic muscle and Bollywood grandeur.
Bold Tech + Pan‑India Appeal
Allu and Atlee aim to push technical and commercial boundaries:
- They began pre-viz and look tests early in Mumbai and LA, crafting detailed avatars for Allu and Rashmika.
- Scenes will explore parallel timelines, lifetimes, and identities — possibly even an animated character role for Allu.
- The ambition? A global-grade spectacle, matching franchises like Avatar in scope and execution
Timeline & Expectations
- Shooting kicked off in June 2025 in Mumbai; key sequences planned across international locations.
- Targeted for a late 2026 or early 2027 release.
With a standalone budget between ₹600–800 cr, AA22 x A6 is poised to join India’s elite high-budget club — ahead of SSMB29 and trailing only Baahubali 2.
Jay-Ho! Endnote
- Double? No — quadruple role. Allu Arjun now spans four generations in one go.
- Star power x Tech spectacle: With Deepika, Rashmika (as a villain!), Janhvi, Mrunal, and global‑level VFX, this is Allu’s boldest canvas yet.
- Pan‑India and beyond: South meets North, Hindi meets Telugu – Atlee invests in scale, not just star wattage.
- High bet, high reward: ₹600–800 cr budget, animated elements — they’re aiming for blockbuster status that’s genuinely epic.
Final Word
Atlee + Allu Arjun = blockbuster potential. But quadruple roles, sci-fi universes, star-studded cast and mega-budget? That’s cinematic ambition dialed to 11. If AA22 x A6 pulls off this dazzling mix, it could be India’s most audacious film yet — a true game-changer.
