Allu Arjun has built a reputation for reinvention, rarely choosing the obvious path. His latest collaboration with director Atlee, tentatively titled AA22xA6, may well be his boldest move yet—an ambitious sci-fi thriller set in a parallel universe.
The film is currently being shot in Mumbai on a specially designed VFX set, where Atlee and his team are blending artificial intelligence, robotics, and visual effects to create a futuristic, immersive world. “This film isn’t your typical sci-fi experiment—it’s being shaped as a meticulously designed spectacle,” shares a source, hinting that viewers can expect a truly groundbreaking visual experience.
Though early reports speculated that Allu Arjun would play multiple avatars, insiders confirm that he will appear in just two roles. The distinction between these looks is subtle, with no extreme transformations or physical makeovers. “That’s why he has continued to attend public events without showing any dramatic transformation,” the source explains. The present schedule highlights his character’s opening arc, while the second look will be captured in later shoots in Mumbai and Hyderabad.
As expected, Allu Arjun is approaching the project with his trademark intensity. Known for his preparation, he has been immersing himself in the mechanics of a VFX-driven production, eager to grasp the finer details of building an artificial universe on screen. His methodical approach reflects both curiosity and a drive to push creative boundaries.
Although the production faced minor delays due to the actor’s other commitments, filming is now progressing smoothly in Mumbai.
For fans and industry watchers alike, AA22xA6 is more than a star-led spectacle—it’s a sign of how Telugu cinema is steadily pushing global standards in both storytelling and technology. If the early buzz holds true, the film promises to deliver a thrilling fusion of scale, innovation, and performance, with Allu Arjun once again at the forefront of cinematic evolution.
