The last time AA22xA6 filmmakers made an official announcement was probably in June confirming Deepika Padukone’s name. Since then, there hasn’t been any update from the makers of the Allu Arjun-starrer. But the shooting of the Atlee directorial has been progressing briskly in a specially-built VFX studio in Mumbai.
Allu Arjun’s timeline
According to sources, Allu Arjun has asked Atlee to expedite the shooting schedules. The superstar plans to announce a new project around June 2026, but he intends to do that only after he wraps up his portion in the sci-fi thriller. The idea is to move on to the next film instead of waiting for AA22xA6 till its release… like how it happened with Pushpa. Allu Arjun wanted to capitalize on the post-production time of the film, he wanted to announce a new project and create craze for the film. Hence, he has been pushing Atlee to quicken the process. While the idea certainly looks smart on paper, it’s easier said than done. Perhaps, in reality, it may prove to be challenging.
Allu Arjun fans disappointed
On the other hand, fans of Allu Arjun seem to be a disappointed lot. They anticipated period updates from the filmmakers, but over the last four months, they couldn’t hear anything. Naturally, they were disappointed. At one point, the makers came close to announcing Mrunal Thakur’s name onto the project. They even shot a promo cut on her, but backed off in the eleventh hour. Fans believe that regular updates from a film of this scale is a must to keep the buzz alive and for greater engagement levels. However, sources from the film unit says that promotional plans are in place, and the makers will reveal at the right time. At this point of time, the film unit feels it’s premature to bring out any news development.
