Allu Arjun Atlee Film to Be a Two Part Franchise

Allu Arjun, riding high on the success of the Pushpa franchise, is expanding his pan-India footprint with a new blockbuster directed by Atlee. After blockbuster Pushpa 2, plans for a third installment are already underway, signalling the franchise’s growing scale. Now, buzz suggests Arjun’s Atlee-directed film, initially a single part, might split into two, with an official announcement expected soon.

The film, featuring Deepika Padukone as the lead and Mrunal Thakur in a key role, is being produced on a massive ₹800 crore budget by Sun Pictures. With top Hollywood VFX teams on board, the scale is ambitious. A chunk of shooting wrapped up in Mumbai, with April 2026 targeted for Part 1.

Sources confirm the decision to go two parts was driven by the story’s vast scope. Allu Arjun plays a superhero, and a gripping promo already created a buzz. Fans are eager to see what Atlee, fresh from Jawan’s success with SRK, brings. Janhvi Kapoor might join soon, adding to the excitement.

In today’s cinema, scale and budget often dictate franchises. Splitting into two parts makes sense recovering costs is tough, and OTT deals aren’t as lucrative anymore. If Part 1 does well, Part 2 could amplify profits. The title’s still under wraps, but AA22xA6 is set for a thrilling ride.
