This will be the third big project that Allu Arjun will start. He already has at least two other magnum opus projects that the audience is eagerly waiting for. The actor will be seen in the third installment of the blockbuster franchise ‘Pushpa’, which is being directed by ace director Sukumar. Apart from this, Allu Arjun is also working on his film with director Atlee, which is tentatively called AA22 X A6.
A22 X A6 is one of the most eagerly awaited films in the industry. It can be recalled that the makers had welcomed actress Deepika Padukone to the film’s unit in June last year. Sun Pictures, the production house producing the film, then shared a video of Atlee meeting Deepika Padukone and narrating the script to her. They then released a clip which gave a glimpse of Deepika Padukone’s motion capture parts in the film. The visuals gave the impression that Deepika Padukone was to play the role of a queen who would ride a horse and wield a sword in the film.
