Allu Arjun's Sci-Fi Epic: Anushka Sharma Joins Deepika Padukone
23 Mar
Summary
- Anushka Sharma may debut in Telugu alongside Allu Arjun.
- The sci-fi film aims for Avatar-level visual scale.
- Shooting for the ambitious project is expected to wrap by late 2026.
Actor Allu Arjun is set to star in the tentatively titled AA22xA, helmed by director Atlee. The sci-fi venture already features Deepika Padukone, and reports indicate Anushka Sharma is in negotiations to join the cast. This potential casting would mark Sharma's first Telugu film opposite a major star.
The film is being described as a massive technical undertaking, with director Atlee reportedly aspiring for a visual scale and world-building on par with the Avatar franchise. Production for AA22xA began recently.
The ambitious project is anticipated to conclude filming by the second half of 2026. AA22xA represents Allu Arjun's next significant project following the immense success of his previous film, Pushpa: The Rule. The narrative is further speculated to span two different universes.
This marks a significant development as Anushka Sharma was previously expected in the biopic Chakda 'Xpress, which appears to have been shelved due to indefinite delays.
