After Wrapping King With SRK, Deepika Padukone To Join Allu Arjun In October For Atlees Sci Fi Thriller: Sources
Synopsis
Deepika Padukone will play a fierce and essential role in Atlee’s upcoming sci fi action film AA22xA6 with Allu Arjun. Her character is pivotal to the story while Allu plays a quadruple role. Filming begins late October.
Excitement is growing around Atlee’s upcoming project AA22xA6 as reports confirm that Deepika Padukone will play a major role in the film. Industry sources describe her character as pivotal to the story, combining strength with depth, and expected to leave a lasting impression on audiences.
After completing her work on King, Deepika is set to join Allu Arjun and Atlee for the sci-fi action film shoot by the end of October. Insiders stress that her role is substantial, not a brief appearance.
A team member revealed, “The character Deepika signed on for in June has remained unchanged. She portrays a strong figure who drives key moments in the story, particularly in the first and second parts of the film.”
This confirms earlier speculation that Deepika’s part is central to the plot alongside Allu Arjun rather than a cameo.
The source added, “Allu will play multiple generations in the movie, appearing as a grandfather, father, and two sons. This is the first time he will take on multiple roles in a single film.”
Initially, there was hesitation about Allu handling all four characters, but after testing the looks, Atlee concluded that it would enhance the film. Audiences will get to experience four distinct versions of Allu Arjun in one film.
Deepika has set aside her schedule from late October through December. The early phase will focus on introducing her character, while November is dedicated to large action sequences. This includes a high-octane chase designed with Atlee’s stunt team from South Korea and intense dialogue scenes.
“In December, the production moves to the United Arab Emirates for a crucial mid-film twist and emotional moments featuring Allu and Deepika,” the insider said.
Atlee, known for blending adrenaline-pumping sequences with emotional storytelling, reportedly crafted the role specifically for Deepika. Her involvement is expected to bring depth to the first half and drive the narrative into its dramatic second act.
Fans can look forward to seeing Deepika take on a role that challenges stereotypes and stretches her on-screen range, following her notable performances in films like Padmaavat and Chhapaak, and her cameo in Jawan. With AA22xA6, she is poised to bring a fresh dimension to her film persona in Atlee’s signature style.
While the project remains under wraps, the combination of Atlee and Deepika has already sparked high expectations. As the film progresses toward its official announcement, audiences are eager to see how this collaboration unfolds. Meanwhile, Deepika continues filming King in Poland alongside Shah Rukh Khan.
