Deepika’s Screen Time Shrinks In Allu Arjun Sci-Fi Action
But the makers have cleared the air. Deepika’s role is key to the story and not a minor appearance.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 2 Oct 2025 12:17 PM ISTIn the world of films, news spreads faster than lightning, and AA22XA6 is proving it. Every day, fans wake up to a new rumour: multiple heroines, Allu Arjun in a double role, or even a Hollywood actor joining the project. Among all the chatter, one topic is making headlines, Deepika Padukone’s role in the film.
Recently, Deepika has been stepping back from big projects, including Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit with Prabhas and the Kalki 2898 AD sequel. This led to speculation that her part in Atlee and Allu Arjun’s film might be reduced to a cameo. Social media was buzzing with debates, especially since the film also features Rashmika Mandanna, Jahnvi Kapoor, and Mrunal Thakur.
But the makers have cleared the air. Deepika’s role is key to the story and not a minor appearance. Each actress has a significant part, and her character is central to the sci-fi time-travel narrative. Rumours of her being sidelined were completely off the mark.
The shooting plan shows how important she is to the film. Deepika is expected on set from November to December. She is currently in Poland filming King with Shah Rukh Khan before joining AA22XA6. Fans can expect her scenes to be impactful, blending her star presence with the film’s high-energy action. This role confirms that even amid rumours, Deepika remains a driving force in the project.
