There’s been a lot of buzz around Allu Arjun’s high-profile sci-fi action film with director Atlee, tentatively called AA22xA6, since its announcement in April this year. There have been speculations that the film, also starring Deepika Padukone, will feature actors Mrunal Thakur and Janhvi Kapoor in pivotal roles. Now, a recent news report confirmed Mrunal and Janhvi’s casting in the film, while also revealing that actor Rashmika Mandanna is set to reunite with her Pushpa co-star Arjun on the project.
A report by Pinkvilla, while citing a source close to the production, said that Rashmika will play “one of the most daring” roles of her career. Stating that Rashmika’s equation with Arjun’s character will be different from what they shared in Pushpa, the source revealed that the pre-production work for her character is currently underway.
“Atlee’s next is a technical marvel, as the filmmaker is looking to create his own Avatar-like film set in two different universes. He has got a rock-solid ensemble cast, as the biggest male and female actors of Indian Cinema are on board the film to play key roles,” the source told Pinkvilla.
Furthermore, the scoop reveals that the makers plan to conduct post-production work in tandem with the shoot, allowing the actors to see the results of their work. An official confirmation of these updates is awaited.
AA22xA6 was announced in April with a promotional video that showed Atlee and Allu Arjun travelling to the Lola VFX company and meeting technicians at Ironhead Studio (costume and creature design), Spectral Motion, ILM Technoprops and Legacy Effects.
The video featured the technicians praising Atlee’s script, while we also got hints that de-ageing technology is set to be used in the film. The video promised a big-budget sci-fi action film high on VFX.
AA22xA6 is bankrolled by Kalanithi Maran of Sun Pictures. Details regarding the rest of the cast and crew of the film are yet to be unveiled.
