Will Smith pairing up with Allu Arjun for a sci-fi film under the direction of Atlee is generating huge buzz. The ambitious project, named tentatively as AA22xA6, is expected to be a path-breaking pan-India film.
Fans are excited about the idea of a Tollywood-Hollywood crossover. With Deepika Padukone and Mrunal Thakur already on board, the star power cannot be denied.
What does one expect from this high-octane venture? Let’s check it out.
Star-Studded Cast and Crew
The possible inclusion of Will Smith with Allu Arjun’s sci-fi film is an impressive cast. Allu Arjun with his fresh success of Pushpa 2 will have double role.
Bollywood legend Deepika Padukone, who recently received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, portrays a warrior role. Mrunal Thakur features as part of the main cast.
Rumors say Will Smith may play the villain, adding global appeal to the film. Atlee, famous for the movie Jawan, is directing this Rs 800 crore project. Sun Pictures backs it with a top-quality production.
A Sci-Fi Action Spectacle
AA22xA6 will mix sci-fi, action, and reincarnation themes. Allu Arjun’s two characters will go up against Smith’s rumored villain. The movie promises strong action and emotion — hallmarks of Atlee’s work.
Visual effects will be handled by Hollywood VFX studios known for Avengers and Spider-Man.
Filming began in Mumbai in June 2025 and will last three months. Allu Arjun will film special VFX scenes later in the US.
Will Smith’s Possible Role
Will Smith, starring in Men in Black and I Am Legend, might make his Indian film debut. Sources say Atlee approached him for the role of the villain. Other reports, however, name Dwayne Johnson as a second option.
No official word has come out, leaving fans in suspense. X posts are indicative of thrill and curiosity with some saying the casting rumors are unverified. If true, then the inclusion of Smith could make AA22xA6 India’s largest international film.
Production and Release Hype
Atlee wants a “visionary cinematic experience.” He is using latest technology for an otherworldly visual experience. The budget of the movie, one of India’s highest, tells us about its aspirations.
Deepika’s casting was made public with a teaser featuring her as a warrior queen. Mrunal Thakur has already joined the Mumbai shoot, while Deepika will join later. The film may release in 2026, though producer Kalanithi Maran hasn’t announced a date yet.
