Filmmaker Atlee’s next project, tentatively titled AA22XA6, has been generating buzz since its announcement. With superstars Allu Arjun Already on board, the addition of Deepika Padukone to the cast has further fueled the excitement on social media. In a recent interview, Atlee shared an update on the much-awaited film and also spoke about reuniting with his jawan actor Deepika, calling her his “lucky charm”.
During a chat with India Today, Atlee revealed that the film’s team is working tirelessly day and night. “Every day we are discovering something. I am aware that everyone wants to know about the film. And, honestly, more than my audience I am really waiting to tell them everything. We spent sleepless nights working on it. I know that is no excuse, but we are equally excited. We are preparing something really big for everyone. And once it is done, believe me, everyone will enjoy it to the fullest,” he said.
The filmmaker also expressed his excitement about collaborating with Deepika Padukone again after Jawan (2023). “Yes, she is my lucky charm. This is my second film with Deepika, and it is wonderful to work with her. She is just amazing. And I think after motherhood, she is starting this film, and you will surely see a very different Deepika.”
The sci-fi action film, produced by Sun Pictures, also stars Kajol, Rashmika Mandanna, Janhvi Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu and Jim Sarbh in pivotal roles.
Earlier, celebrity stylist Aalim Hakim, who designed Allu Arjun’s look for the upcoming film, spoke to SCREEN about it. “Allu Arjun sir is too passionate and when you want to see what we are doing with Atlee sir, his look is deadly in the film,” he shared.
