In a surprising twist, Allu Arjun will be playing not one or two, but four different roles in the film - a grandfather, a father, and two sons.
This marks the first time in his career that he's taking on so many characters in a single film.
According to Bollywood Hungama, Atlee had initially planned to cast different actors for each role.

However, Allu Arjun reportedly insisted on playing all four characters himself. After a look test conducted in Los Angeles, Atlee was convinced and gave his approval.
While the news has generated major buzz, it has also sparked mixed reactions online. Some fans are excited to see Allu Arjun challenge himself in such a unique way - pushing his limits as a performer. But others aren't as impressed.

A section of social media users has started trolling him, accusing the star of insecurity. They claim that he is playing all four roles because he doesn't want other strong actors to steal the spotlight or share credit for the film's success.
Many believe the roles of the father and grandfather might have turned out to be so powerful that they could have overshadowed the younger characters.
They argue that casting seasoned actors in those parts could have elevated the film further - even if it meant sharing the limelight.
Many believe that Allu Arjun isn't secure enough to share the credit and hence chose to play all four parts himself.
Despite the criticism, the project is building massive anticipation. With a stellar cast that includes Deepika Padukone, Rashmika Mandanna, Janhvi Kapoor, and Mrunal Thakur, AA22 x A6 is shaping up to be one of the biggest films in Indian cinema.
Whether Allu Arjun's bold decision will pay off or backfire remains to be seen - but one thing is clear: the film has already become one of the most talked-about projects in the country.
