Telugu cinema superstar Allu Arjun has reportedly inked a staggering Rs 175 crore deal with Sun Pictures for his next big project, tentatively titled A6, under the direction of Tamil filmmaker Atlee. Here’s everything you need to know about this monumental collaboration.
Record-Breaking Deal and Profit Share
According to a recent Pinkvilla report, this front-end deal marks the highest-ever paycheck for an actor in modern Indian cinema. Alongside the hefty sum, Allu Arjun has also secured a 15 percent stake in the film’s backend profits, reflecting his confidence in the project’s potential. A source close to the development revealed, “Allu has locked a deal worth Rs 175 crore with Sun Pictures, along with a profit-sharing agreement. It’s a landmark moment for the actor, and he’s committed to the project with a well-planned schedule post his current commitments.”
Shooting Timeline Set for 2025
The yet-to-be-titled film is slated to commence production between August and October 2025, with Allu Arjun allotting bulk dates to Atlee and Sun Pictures. “Allu has committed bulk dates from August 2025, and the idea is to roll with the film in the window of August to October, depending on the time taken for pre-production,” the source added. This timeline ensures the project stays on track for its ambitious vision.
A VFX-Heavy Spectacle with Atlee’s Signature
A6 promises to be a visual spectacle, with heavy emphasis on VFX to create an entirely new cinematic universe. The source shared, “Atlee is building a fresh world for this film, packed with political intrigue and dramatic flair. Yet, it retains the signature Atlee touch—think a powerful hero introduction, high-octane elevation scenes, and crowd-pleasing masala elements.” Billed as the most ambitious undertaking for both the director and the actor, A6 aims to push creative and commercial boundaries.
The Perfect Follow-Up to Pushpa 2
Following the massive success of Pushpa: The Rise and the highly anticipated Pushpa 2, Allu Arjun was inundated with offers from across Indian film industries. However, he handpicked A6 as his next venture, seeing it as the perfect vehicle to cement his pan-India stardom and take his career global. “After a phenomenon like Pushpa, the follow-up film had to be strategic. A6 offers Allu the chance to elevate his game and reach new heights,” the source noted.
Sun Pictures is producing the film, debunking earlier rumors about other production houses being involved. Pre-production is already underway, with the team targeting a roll-out in the second half of 2025. The collaboration between Atlee, and Allu Arjun, riding high on his Pushpa fame, has already sparked immense excitement among fans and trade circles.
In addition to A6, Allu Arjun has another major project lined up—a collaboration with director Trivikram Srinivas, set to begin in the second half of 2026.
