On the occasion of Allu Arjun’s birthday, fans received a spectacular surprise — the much-speculated collaboration between Icon Star Allu Arjun and blockbuster director Atlee has been officially announced. Titled AA22, this cinematic spectacle will be bankrolled by Sun Pictures and promises to be one of the most ambitious films of the decade.
The announcement, which instantly set social media on fire, was made with a stylish poster featuring the film’s core team — Allu Arjun, director Atlee, and producer Kalanithi Maran of Sun Pictures. The project also ropes in the globally renowned VFX studio Lola VFX, known for its revolutionary visual work in Hollywood and now ready to elevate Indian cinema to a whole new level.
Atlee and Allu Arjun Join Hands for the First Time
After delivering back-to-back blockbusters like Mersal, Bigil, and Jawan, director Atlee is teaming up for the first time with National Award-winning superstar Allu Arjun. This high-voltage pairing has been on the wishlist of fans for a long time, and the official confirmation on Arjun’s birthday made it all the more special.
Touted to be a mass-action entertainer packed with emotion, drama, and world-class visuals, AA22 (tentatively also referred to as A6) is already creating a buzz for its scale and uniqueness.
Twin Brothers, Not Reincarnation: A Script Overhaul
According to earlier reports, the film was originally envisioned with Salman Khan in the lead and revolved around a reincarnation theme. However, once Allu Arjun came on board, Atlee made significant script changes. The reincarnation angle was scrapped, and instead, the film now revolves around twin brothers — a territory Atlee has previously mastered in hits like Mersal and Bigil.
This marks Allu Arjun’s first-ever dual role in his career spanning over two decades. Fans are especially excited to see how he brings two distinct personalities to life in a story set against a backdrop of emotional depth and adrenaline-pumping action.
