Allu Arjun is set to switch gears from mega scale pre-production into full-throttle shoot mode with director Atlee, and Mumbai is where the action begins. After months of groundwork and VFX-heavy world-building conversations around their much-hyped collaboration, the team is now locking a key schedule in the city that is designed to deliver spectacle from day one.
With industry chatter already pegging the film as a scale-first entertainer, this Mumbai leg is being positioned as one of the most crucial early blocks, not just for logistics but for the kind of set pieces it aims to mount.
The Latest Update: Mumbai Schedule Kicks Off At A Suburban Studio
Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that Atlee will kick off the Mumbai schedule of his Allu Arjun starrer at a suburban studio, where the team is set to mount key larger than life action sequences. These are expected to be staged as major blocks within the film’s narrative, with extensive prep planned around execution and choreography.
Makers are also planning to shoot some portions of song sequence also in this schedule.
The Mumbai schedule is understood to be designed around controlled, studio-based action work, allowing the makers to pull off scale-driven sequences with precision. The film has been officially announced by Sun Pictures and is tentatively titled AA22xA6, with the announcement video in April 2025 spotlighting the project’s ambition through its VFX-focused pre-production trail.
Atlee, who last directed the Shah Rukh Khan-led Jawan (2023), is now combining his mass storytelling grammar with a visual-effects-forward canvas for Allu Arjun, who last headlined Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024). While the makers are keeping plot specifics tightly under wraps, the official positioning of the project has leaned into a “mass meets magic” pitch, signalling a stylised, event-scale build.
What We Know About The Film So Far
AA22xA6 is headlined by Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee, and it is produced by Sun Pictures’ Kalanithi Maran. The project was unveiled in April 2025 with a video that showed the core team engaging with top international effects and creature and prosthetics specialists, underlining that the film is being built as a VFX-powered action spectacle.
No official cast additions beyond Allu Arjun have been formally confirmed by the makers as of March 2026.
Allu Arjun’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Allu Arjun’s most recent release was Sukumar’s Pushpa 2: The Rule (2024), the sequel to Pushpa: The Rise (2021), which cemented his pan-India dominance. Before the Pushpa films, he was seen in Trivikram Srinivas’ blockbuster Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (2020).
On the upcoming front, Allu Arjun’s officially announced next is Atlee’s AA22xA6 with Sun Pictures, which is now moving deeper into active production with the Mumbai schedule.
