AA22A6: Deepika Padukone as The Witcher? AI image resurfaces after casting in Atlee-Allu Arjun film
As Deepika Padukone picks up her sword and gets ready to play the role of a warrior queen, an AI-generated image of the beauty has resurfaced on social media. The picture, shared by a fan handle back in 2024, reimagined her as a fierce female Witcher. The picture was posted online with the caption, "You asked for it! Deepika is a Witcher!" This comes just hours after the official announcement of her casting as the female lead in Atlee's next big project with Allu Arjun was announced on Saturday. The viral image depicts Deepika in a leather and iron clad outfit with a breastplate, giving her the perfect warrior look. With piercing eyes she wears her hair down in loose waves, much like Henry Cavill 's character of Geralt of Rivia. While not officially linked to the film, the timing of the AI artwork and the project's epic scale teased in the announcement clip, has sparked speculation about Deepika's role in the high-octane sci-fi film tentatively titled Project AA22 x A6. On Saturday, the makers dropped an announcement video, showcasing director Atlee and Deepika in discussion. The video later shows the actress getting into prep mode as she picks up a sword and swings an axe while prepping for her action-packed role. When not in her armour, DP was seen in a motion-capture suit, riding a mechanical horse, suggesting epic battle scenes set to unfold in this new film. Director Atlee, in a press note, praised the actress, saying, 'Collaborating with Deepika Padukone ma'am on Jawan was incredible—her range, power, and grace shine in every frame. She drives the story. Now, with her and Allu Arjun sir together, we're creating something truly unforgettable—real filmmaker's dream synergy.'

Deepika Padukone joins Allu Arjun-Atlee's ‘AA22xA6' in a fierce warrior avatar
Deepika Padukone has officially boarded Atlee's upcoming sci-fi action spectacle, tentatively titled AA22xA6, which stars Allu Arjun in the lead. The announcement was made by Sun Pictures with an electrifying promo video that unveiled Deepika's character in a never-seen-before avatar, sparking major excitement among fans. This marks Deepika's first collaboration with Allu Arjun and her second with director Atlee, following their recent teaming in Jawan. The promo showcases Deepika as a formidable warrior set in a fantasy-sci-fi universe. Clad in a futuristic battle suit and wielding a sword, she's seen riding a CGI-rendered horse, with motion capture sensors suggesting heavy VFX integration. Her look hints at a physically demanding and action-heavy role, adding a new dimension to her filmography. Director Atlee is reportedly experimenting with elaborate character designs and visuals, using blue-mat set technology to craft the film's distinct aesthetic. The ambitious project is being mounted as a pan-India blockbuster, combining large-scale action with science fiction. It also marks Sun Pictures' debut collaboration with a Telugu superstar, highlighting the film's expansive vision. Deepika's casting comes on the heels of her recent exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, which had sparked speculation. While some reports cited her high remuneration demands, others linked it to her desire for lighter schedules after embracing motherhood. Regardless, her entry into AA22xA6 has shifted attention, reinforcing her star power in the pan-India space, especially following her role in Kalki 2898 AD.

It's with Atlee garu, who directed Jawan and many other superhit films in the South. So, we've come together. I really liked the idea he shared with me. I appreciate his aspirations, and I felt we were like-minded on many levels. We hope to bring a very new visual spectacle to Indian cinema. It will be an international-level film with completely Indian sensibilities.' The film is expected to go on floors later this year.
