Director Atlee Turns Christmas Into a Working Day
Music composer Sai Abhyankkar shared a picture from the recording studio, offering fans a glimpse into the film’s progress

Director Atlee showed no signs of slowing down this Christmas, as work continued on Allu Arjun’s upcoming pan-India film AA22xA6. Music composer Sai Abhyankkar shared a picture from the recording studio, offering fans a glimpse into the film’s progress.
Posted on Instagram, the photo shows Sai Abhyankkar and Atlee seated inside a music studio, smiling at the camera. A digital audio workstation and studio monitors can be seen in the background, indicating an active recording session. Sai captioned the post, “Christmas sessions,” hinting that music composition for the film is underway.
Directed by Atlee, AA22xA6 is a high-octane action entertainer that reportedly explores the concept of a parallel world. The film is mounted on a massive scale and is slated for a 2027 release. Production is currently progressing at a brisk pace.
The makers have officially announced Deepika Padukone as one of the female leads. Rashmika Mandanna and Mrunal Thakur are speculated to be part of the cast, though no confirmation has been made yet. Allu Arjun is rumoured to be playing quadruple roles — a first in his career.
Fresh buzz suggests that AA22xA6 could be developed as a two-part film, considering its scale, budget, and expansive storyline. Nearly 60% of the shoot is said to be complete, with the team currently filming an underwater action sequence. Several top Hollywood technicians are reportedly associated with the project.
