Atlee’s AA22xA6 to Burn ₹350 Cr on VFX?

Atlee and Icon star Allu Arjun’s ambitious sci-fi thriller AA22xA6 is shaping up to be one of the most extravagant Indian films ever made, and not just in scale. Buzz from inside the industry now points to a jaw-dropping ₹350 crore being earmarked solely for VFX. If the reports are accurate, this would place the film at the forefront of India’s most visually driven cinematic projects.

The team is reportedly bringing in top international studios to handle the heavy-lifting on the effects side, with some of the sequences set to be shot in Mumbai using advanced visual technologies. Word is, Atlee has been given a free hand with the budget, an uncommon luxury even for big-ticket Indian productions. Fans are already speculating about scenes that might feature Allu Arjun in multiple avatars, and maybe even as a digital animated version.

While official confirmation is still pending, industry analyst Sumanth and other insiders hint that the film could break new ground in Indian VFX standards. It's not just the tech that's drawing attention, the cast is equally stacked. Deepika Padukone is officially onboard, with Mrunal Thakur also joining the crew. Rumors point to Janhvi Kapoor and Bhagyashri Borse being added to the growing list of female leads.

AA22xA6 isn't just another pan-India action movie. With its sci-fi theme, massive budget, and experimental vision, it's looking more and more like a project that wants to shift the needle for Indian cinema. As work continues quietly but aggressively behind the scenes, fans are left wondering: will this be the film that changes the game visually, and globally?
