AA22xA6: Atlee And Allu Arjun All Set To Revolutionize Indian Cinema With Rs 400 Crore VFX Wonder

Indian cinema is about to embark on a new age of boldness, and spearheading the movement is a daring collaboration that will defy all limits of storytelling, scope, and visual impact. Meet AA22xA6, a sci-fi action thriller featuring Allu Arjun and helmed by Atlee. The movie is already making waves in the industry well ahead of its release. With a budget for estimated VFX of a whopping ₹350 to ₹400 crores, AA22xA6 is being billed as one of the costliest visual Indian films to have ever been produced. It’s not just a film; it’s being made as an experience, one that brings together star value, technology, and storytelling in a way Indian audiences have rarely experienced before. At the helm of AA22xA6 stands director Atlee, who has made a name for himself succeeding in merging mass entertainment with high-concept drama. After the massive success of Jawan, Atlee is now being handed full creative and financial freedom by the producers to execute his vision without compromise. According to a report by film analyst Sumanth on X (formerly Twitter), the makers are allowing Atlee to go all out, a rare move in Indian filmmaking that signals their confidence in the director’s grand vision. The price tag earmarked for VFX itself, anything from ₹350 to ₹400 crores, is almost unheard of in Indian cinema. With this one step, the benchmark for what is achievable on the screen in the Indian film industry changes. Several international VFX houses have been known to join the bandwagon to work on the project, making it a global visual experience to watch out for. Joining in the buzz is Allu Arjun, fresh from the huge success of Pushpa 2: The Rule. Although his performance in Pushparaju has made him a name to reckon with, AA22xA6 promises to be much more experimental and genre-bending. Buzz is that Arjun will be seen in several different avatars, such as a fully animated version, something that few attempts at this level have been made within Indian cinema. For the fans, it means seeing their beloved star like never before, traveling parallel worlds, and even bending the laws of space and time. AA22xA6 is described as a pan-Indian sci-fi action thriller that will deal with parallel universes, a concept that has limitless scope for storytelling and visual imagination. Official details of the plot remain to be published, but early reports suggest that extensive parts of the film are being shot with the latest VFX approach, including scenes that are currently in production in Mumbai. This genre, only half-explored to date by Indian cinema, is the perfect sandbox for AA22xA6 to surprise audiences with unseen horizons, defying-gravity stunts, and emotionally overwhelming narratives set against the backdrop of space. Apart from Allu Arjun’s starring role, the film boasts of a glamorous cast of heroines. Deepika Padukone, the always-elegant beauty, has been officially announced as one of the lady leads. Raising expectations further, Mrunal Thakur has also joined the team. It is rumored that the movie will have a total of five heroines, with names such as Janhvi Kapoor and upstart Bhagyashri Borse being rumored. With this vibrant combination of seasoned actors and new talents, the movie appears set to please fans from across languages and geographies. Indian film has tried big-budget productions before, but AA22xA6 has the potential to take it to a whole new level. The amount of creative liberty given to Atlee, the humongous VFX budget, the genre-bending idea, and pan-India star casting of Deepika Padukone and Allu Arjun make it a unique blend of artistic experimentation and mass entertainment. The parallels with international franchises are inevitable, but AA22xA6 appears to be forging its own destiny. It’s not just aiming to impress with grandeur but to tell a story that justifies every pixel of its special effects, a cinematic event rather than just a movie release. While AA22xA6 is still in production, Allu Arjun’s career is soaring. With Pushpa 2: The Rule being another blockbuster to his credit, the actor is also going to feature in the planned sequel Pushpa 3: The Rampage. Apart from this, trade rumors point towards a team-up with Salaar director Prashanth Neel for a film called Ravanam, which can be another landmark moment in Arjun’s legendary career. AA22xA6 is turning out to be far more than another high-budget action movie. It’s a bold move to bring Indian cinema from the fringes into the mainstream globally, an experiment with technology and narrative, and a tribute to India’s great talent both in front of and behind the camera. Although official word on some details is yet to come, there’s one thing certain. Indian cinema is poised on the brink of a cinematic revolution, and AA22xA6 could very well be the movie to trigger it. Stay tuned; the future looks visually spectacular.

Trump Reiterates Iran Nuclear Talking Points Despite Swirling Questions

US president denies multiple reports and accounts that say US strikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities. United States President Donald Trump has reiterated a vow not to allow Iran to get nuclear weapons following the end of Iran and Israel’s recent 12-day conflict, in which the US militarily intervened, and has stuck closely to his narrative as questions remain about the impact of US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. On the Fox News programme Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Trump repeated his claim that Iran was “weeks away” from making the weapons before Israel attacked on June 13. Nine days later, the US targeted Iran’s top three nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Both US intelligence and the United Nations nuclear watchdog have ascertained that Tehran was not building a nuclear arsenal. Iran has long insisted that its nuclear programme is for civilian purposes only. While Trump has said that the sites were “obliterated” by the US bombers, in the wake of the attacks, several major news organisations, citing intelligence sources, have reported that the US strikes did not destroy the facilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Monday that it was unclear what damage had been sustained at the Fordow plant, which houses the bulk of Iran’s most highly enriched uranium needed to make a nuclear weapon. On Sunday, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said Iran could restart uranium enrichment in a matter of months, while Trump insisted over the weekend that the attacks had set Iran’s nuclear ambitions back “by decades”. According to an IAEA report last month, Iran has more than 400kg (880lb) of uranium enriched to up to 60 per cent purity, close to the roughly 90 per cent weapons grade – which is enough, if enriched further, for nine nuclear weapons. Trump told Fox News that the news outlets questioning the efficacy of the attacks he ordered and lauded were spreading “fake news”. “It’s just horrible and I could see it happening, and they [news outlets] tried to build that into a story, but then it turned out, no, it was obliterated like nobody has ever seen before and that meant the end to their nuclear ambitions at least for a period of time,” Trump said. On whether or not Iran would restart its nuclear programme following the end of the conflict, Trump said, “The last thing they want to do right now is think about nuclear.” During the attack on the sites, reports emerged that Iran had removed the enriched uranium from Fordow, but Trump claimed that was false. “It’s a very hard thing to do, plus we didn’t give them much notice because they didn’t know we were coming until just then and nobody thought we would go after that site because everybody said that site was impenetrable… it’s at the bottom of a mountain and it’s granite,” he said. “[But] the bomb went through it like butter, like it was absolute butter,” he said. Separately, Trump told Fox that US trade talks with Canada would be stopped “until such time as they drop certain taxes” after Canada pushed ahead with a new digital services tax on foreign and domestic technology companies. Regarding a trade deal with China, Trump said that while Washington, DC has a large trade deficit with Beijing, the US was currently “getting along” with China. The president added that he had found a buyer for the social media platform TikTok, by a group of “very wealthy people”, who he will reveal in about two weeks after he extended a ban on the app for the third time, for another 90 days.

Israel Kills 72 In Gaza, Including Hungry Palestinians Waiting For Food

Calls for a ceasefire grow as US and Israeli leaders discuss a potential truce amid escalating violence in Gaza. Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip have killed dozens of Palestinians, including people seeking food at aid distribution hubs, as the already catastrophic humanitarian situation in the besieged enclave deteriorates by the day. Medical sources told Al Jazeera on Sunday that at least 72 people were killed since dawn in Israeli strikes targeting multiple locations across Gaza, including at least 47 in Gaza City and the north of the territory. Al Jazeera’s Moath al-Kahlout, reporting from Gaza City, described “catastrophic” scenes at the al-Ahli Hospital in the northern city as dozens of wounded civilians sought help following Israeli strikes on the Zeitoun and Sabra neighbourhoods, as well as al-Zawiya market. “There are too many wounded civilians here, including children. Many are lying on the ground because there are not enough beds or medical supplies to treat them. This facility is struggling to cope due to severe shortages,” he said. “The Israeli military has dropped leaflets in eastern Gaza City, ordering civilians to move south. These leaflets are often followed by intense and repeated attacks, resulting in the large number of casualties we are witnessing now.” The victims on Sunday also included at least five Palestinian aid seekers killed near food distribution centres run by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) north of Rafah, according to medics. Since the United States- and Israel-backed GHF took over limited aid deliveries in Gaza in late May amid a punishing Israeli blockade, Israeli soldiers have regularly shot at Palestinians near distribution centres, killing more than 580 people, and wounding more than 4,000, according to the Gaza Government Media Office. A recent report by Israel’s Haaretz newspaper quoted unnamed Israeli soldiers as saying they had received orders to fire at crowds of unarmed aid seekers to disperse them. Geoffrey Nice, a human rights lawyer, told Al Jazeera that the killings going on around the GHF are “inexplicable”. “What is absolutely astonishing to outsiders is that it is in the business of apparently providing aid where it is desperately needed, and those providing aid with you end up shooting dead hundreds of people,” said Nice, who also took part in the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in the Strip is worsening, with babies and toddlers dying due to a lack of nutrients. Christy Black, an Australian nurse volunteering in Gaza City, said the hospital she’s based in is short of medical supplies, including formula for pregnant women who require nasogastric feeding. That leaves many without the nutrients needed to lactate – as well as baby formula, she said. “Our most vulnerable are dying,” Black told Al Jazeera. “We’ve seen a couple of babies die over the last couple of days in Gaza City. It’s really desperate here.” Malnourishment also makes it difficult to heal from wounds, she said, adding that there is a significant uptick in respiratory illnesses due to the number of bombs being dropped on Gaza. “We’re seeing children going through the rubbish trying to find something to eat … Children who might be nine or 10 years old that look like two-year-olds,” she added. With Israeli bombardment of the besieged enclave relentless, there are indications of a fresh impetus to end the war in the wake of the US and Israeli bombings of Iran’s nuclear facilities and the ensuing ceasefire between Israel and Iran. On Sunday, US President Donald Trump seemed determined to seal a truce. “MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!” he said in a Social Truth post. His comments came after he said he believed a ceasefire could be reached within a week. “I think it’s close. I just spoke to some of the people involved,” Trump said on Saturday. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not comment on the push for a truce, he said in the past week that behind-the-scenes talks have been taking place to try and secure a 60-day pause in fighting. Negotiations revolve around a proposal put forward by the US back in March to extend phase one of a ceasefire that Israel violated by resuming its bombing of Gaza. Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut, reporting from Amman, Jordan, said, “Netanyahu is under a lot of pressure as Trump has been quite outspoken for some time that he wants to see a ceasefire in Gaza.” “And prior to Israel’s attacks on Iran, just about two weeks ago, there was a lot of pressure from European allies because of the Israeli military’s conduct in the Gaza Strip,” she said. In the meantime, the Jerusalem District Court cancelled this week’s hearings in Netanyahu’s long-running corruption trial, accepting a request that the Israeli leader made, citing classified diplomatic and security grounds. It was unclear whether a social media post by Trump – one suggesting the trial could interfere with Netanyahu’s ability to join negotiations with Hamas and Iran – influenced the court’s decision. The ruling, seen by Reuters, said that new reasons provided by Netanyahu, the head of Israel’s spy agency Mossad and the military intelligence chief justified cancelling the hearings. Netanyahu was indicted in 2019 on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust – all of which he denies. He has cast the trial against him as an orchestrated left-wing witch-hunt meant to topple a democratically elected right-wing leader. On Friday, the court rejected a request by Netanyahu to delay his testimony for the next two weeks because of diplomatic and security matters following the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran, which ended last Tuesday. He was due to take the stand on Monday for cross-examination. “It is INSANITY doing what the out-of-control prosecutors are doing to Bibi Netanyahu,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. He said Washington, having given billions of dollars worth of aid to Israel, was not going to “stand for this”. A spokesperson for the Israeli prosecution declined to comment on Trump’s post. Netanyahu reposted Trump’s comments on X and added: “Thank you again, @realDonaldTrump. Together, we will make the Middle East Great Again!” Trump said Netanyahu was “right now” negotiating a deal with Hamas, though neither leader provided details, and though officials from both sides have voiced scepticism over prospects for a ceasefire soon.
