Contrary to recent speculation, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is not a part of Allu Arjun and director Atlee’s ambitious upcoming project, tentatively titled A6. While whispers about her involvement had begun circulating online, reliable sources have now firmly dismissed the rumors, clarifying that the global icon was never even approached for the role.

The confirmation comes as fans eagerly await more details about A6, one of the most talked-about upcoming films in the South Indian film industry. Touted as a parallel reality action-drama, the film is expected to be a genre-bending spectacle, combining mass-market appeal with a fresh and innovative narrative structure. If reports are to be believed, A6 will feature Allu Arjun in a dual role for the first time in his career—one of the film’s most exciting draws.
Director Atlee, known for delivering blockbusters like Mersal, Bigil, and Jawan, is said to be building a unique cinematic universe with A6, aiming to take Indian storytelling to a global scale. The filmmaker is reportedly working on creating an expansive, high-concept world that blends emotion, action, and fantasy—elements he has mastered over the years. With production scheduled to begin in August 2025, fans and industry insiders alike are eagerly watching every development.
Though she’s not part of A6, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has no shortage of high-profile projects. The actor, producer, and global ambassador is set to headline SSMB29, an epic jungle adventure directed by SS Rajamouli, known for helming Baahubali and RRR. Starring opposite Mahesh Babu, Priyanka is expected to bring her trademark intensity and global screen presence to a film already being described as a “visually groundbreaking cinematic event." The cast also includes Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran, further heightening anticipation for the project.
Back to A6, a major announcement is now just around the corner. According to insiders, the film’s first official look—or perhaps even a teaser—will be released on April 8, 2025, coinciding with Allu Arjun’s birthday. The date holds special significance for the actor’s fans, as key updates for his films—including the Pushpa franchise—have often been unveiled on his birthday.
“Allu Arjun is extremely excited about his first collaboration with Atlee," the source added. “April 8 will mark the official beginning of this journey. The makers have planned something big to showcase the film’s scale and Allu’s never-seen-before dual avatars."
This announcement is expected to offer a first glimpse into the world of A6, its tone, and its ambitions. With backing from Sun Pictures, known for producing large-scale films, and Atlee’s proven track record of delivering commercial hits with a pan-India reach, expectations are sky-high.
Meanwhile, Allu Arjun is riding the wave of success following Pushpa 2: The Rule, in which he reprised his iconic role as Pushparaju—the fierce red sandalwood smuggler. The sequel dives deeper into the underworld dynamics and Pushpa’s meteoric rise, with Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, Sunil, and Rao Ramesh adding weight to the powerful ensemble cast.
There’s also growing buzz that Allu Arjun may reunite with acclaimed director Trivikram Srinivas for their fourth film together. The two have previously delivered hits like Julayi, S/O Satyamurthy, and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. This time, their collaboration is rumored to explore a mythological or fantasy genre, with Allu possibly stepping into the divine role of Lord Karthikeya—a move that could expand his range and bring a fresh dimension to his on-screen image.
As for Priyanka, her steady return to Indian cinema after carving a global niche continues to be closely watched. Between major Bollywood collaborations and her growing presence in Hollywood, she remains one of the few Indian actors successfully navigating both worlds. Her role in SSMB29 with Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu marks a significant chapter in her filmography, and fans are eager to see how it unfolds.
