The project, directed by Atlee and backed by a massive production setup, had been on a short break. With Arjun back on set, the team resumed shooting key sequences in Mumbai.

Adding more buzz to the film, it was reported that Bollywood star Deepika Padukone would be joining the cast in November. Her entry into the project only fuelled anticipation, marking a significant North-South collaboration in Indian cinema.

Alongside Deepika, Tamil actor-comedian Yogi Babu also came on board, further expanding the film’s diverse ensemble. His inclusion is expected to bring both comic relief and freshness to the high-stakes sci-fi narrative.

While official plot details remain under wraps, AA22xA6 is already generating strong industry chatter, thanks to its star power and the director-actor pairing of Atlee and Allu Arjun—both known for delivering mass entertainers with emotional depth.
