Allu Arjun’s upcoming film AA22XA6 has already set the industry buzzing, but the project continues to raise the bar with every new revelation.
Directed by Atlee and mounted on a colossal scale, the sci-fi thriller is fast emerging as one of the most ambitious Indian films in the making — a spectacle defined by scale, technology and star power.
For over four months, Atlee has been filming the project inside a specially constructed 3D studio in Mumbai, built with cutting-edge, Hollywood-grade technology.
The unconventional move has sparked curiosity among fans and filmmakers alike. But now comes an even bigger surprise.
Industry buzz suggests that Allu Arjun is set to shoot a lavish underwater action sequence — a first of its kind in Indian cinema.
The sequence is being mounted inside a controlled studio environment in Mumbai, with a specialized technical team flown in from Hollywood to design, supervise and execute the entire block.
Sources say Atlee has envisioned the underwater segment as one of the film’s defining moments, banking heavily on Allu Arjun’s screen presence and physical transformation.
To prepare for the demanding sequence, Allu Arjun reportedly underwent special training to master the nuances of underwater performance.
“The sequence presents him in a fierce, intense avatar,” said a source close to the production.
“Atlee has imagined it on a scale never attempted before, and every technical detail is being handled by international experts.”
Adding to the intrigue, AA22XA6 may not arrive as a single film.
Following the blockbuster success of the Pushpa franchise, Allu Arjun is said to be keen on expanding the project into a two-part saga.
With nearly 60% of the film already completed and the remaining portions scheduled to wrap by summer, discussions are underway to split the narrative — a move aimed at building long-term buzz and offsetting the film’s massive budget.
Whether it surfaces as one film or two, AA22XA6 is shaping up to be a cinematic gamble of epic proportions.
As Allu Arjun dives deeper, literally and figuratively, Atlee seems determined to redefine the visual grammar of Indian blockbuster cinema.
