Telugu star Allu Arjun will be seen portraying not one but four characters in his upcoming magnum opus with director Atlee, being tentatively referred to as 'AA22XA6', IANS reported.
The grapevine is abuzz that Allu Arjun will be seen playing four characters -- that of a grandfather, father, and two sons in the film. Also, the buzz is that the film is based on the concept of two parallel universes. However, none of this information has been officially confirmed by the makers.
The film is the most eagerly awaited in the industry. It may be recalled that the makers had, in June, welcomed actress Deepika Padukone onboard the film's unit. Sun Pictures, the production house producing the film, had then shared a video of Atlee meeting Deepika Padukone and narrating the script to her. A clip they had released then gave a glimpse of Deepika's motion capture portions in the film. The visuals gave the impression that Deepika Padukone was to play a queen who would ride a horse and wield a sword in the film.
It may be recalled that Sun Pictures had released an announcement video about the film some time back. In the announcement video, a number of world-class technicians who are to work on the film, had shared their thoughts about the script.
Well-known VFX supervisor James Madigan, who is known for having worked in films like ‘Iron Man 2’ and ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’, was seen saying, “I just got done reading the script and I got to say, my head is still spinning.”
