Allu Arjun to play 4 roles in Atlee’s next, including a grandfather

Actor Allu Arjun is set to join hands with director Atlee for the first time in an upcoming action-packed film, tentatively titled ‘AA22xA6.’

The project, which is already making headlines for its scale and star-studded cast, will feature Arjun in a challenging set of roles, alongside Deepika Padukone and Rashmika Mandanna.

According to a reports, the actor is expected to portray four distinct characters in the film spanning generations of the same family. These roles include a grandfather, a father, and two sons, each presumably playing a pivotal part in the narrative.

The report suggests that the original plan was for Arjun to appear in a dual role, with other actors taking on the remaining characters. However, it was Allu Arjun himself who proposed taking on all four roles.

Initially, director Atlee was unsure about the idea, but was later convinced after the actor successfully completed a look test. Though there has been no official confirmation yet, the concept has already excited fans who are eagerly awaiting further announcements.

Another major development surrounding ‘AA22xA6’ is the inclusion of Bollywood star Deepika Padukone.

Rashmika Mandanna in a negative role

Adding to the intrigue, Rashmika Mandanna is reportedly set to play a negative character in the film. Earlier reports from Pinkvilla confirmed that she had already completed her look test and body scan in Los Angeles, indicating a substantial role in the narrative. She is also said to be one of the female leads in the film.

In addition, actors Mrunal Thakur and Janhvi Kapoor are expected to join the ensemble cast, taking on significant roles that are yet to be officially revealed.

‘AA22xA6’ is being produced on a grand scale, with the makers planning to complete the film’s production by the latter half of 2026. If all goes as scheduled, the film could hit cinemas either in late 2026 or early 2027.

On the work front Allu Arjun will be next seen in ‘Pushpa 3’, directed by Sukumar, which will mark the next instalment in the blockbuster franchise.
