Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone has officially joined the cast of Telugu icon Allu Arjun’s upcoming big-budget spectacle, directed by Atlee and currently titled AA22xA6. Sun Pictures, the film’s production house, announced a captivating teaser and a grand social media reveal on Saturday.
“The Queen marches to conquer!” read Sun Pictures’ post on X (formerly Twitter), welcoming Deepika on board with the hashtags #TheFacesOfAA22xA6 and #AA22xA6. The announcement video features director Atlee narrating the script to Deepika, alongside glimpses of her motion capture sessions, hinting at a powerful warrior-queen avatar. In the visuals, she is seen riding a horse and wielding a sword, setting the tone for a visually immersive and action-heavy role.

Promoted as a “magnum opus”, AA22xA6 promises to be a groundbreaking cinematic experience that blends star power with cutting-edge technology.
Backing this ambitious project is a team of globally renowned technicians. In a previously released concept video, several top-tier VFX experts and artists from Hollywood expressed their excitement about the script.
James Madigan, acclaimed for his work in Iron Man 2 and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, said, “I just finished reading the script and my head is still spinning.”
Spectral Motion president Mike Elizalde told Allu Arjun, “The script is seriously unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s the best of the best of what I would ever want to create.”
Academy Award-winner Justin Raleigh, CEO and Artistic Director of Fractured FX, echoed the excitement: “Reading through it, I’m thrilled by all the creature and character potential.”
William Write Anderson, co-owner of Lola VFX, added, “I cannot wait to be a part of this. The story is unbelievable, and I’m excited to see how this vision unfolds.”
With a mix of star-studded casting, an experienced global crew, and a script described as “unlike anything done before,” AA22xA6 is shaping up to be a cinematic event with universal appeal.
