Deepika Padukone joins Atlee and Allu Arjun’s AA22xA6

Fans react to Deepika joining AA22xA6 after the Spirit fiasco.

After the whole Spirit controversy with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Deepika Padukone has now joined forces with Atlee and Allu Arjun for her comeback. Since the past few weeks, the actress has been on top of headlines for her exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Prabhas starrer Spirit. Initial reports suggested she left the project because her expectations weren’t met, working 8 hours a day, demanding 10% profit-sharing apart from her ₹25 crore remuneration and refusing to deliver dialogues in Telugu.

Deepika Padukone will make her comeback with the Atlee film.

Deepika has chosen her comeback film with Atlee and Allu Arjun, which fans believe is a hard-hitting response to Sandeep. The actress has been roped in as the female lead in the magnum opus AA22xA6, helmed by filmmaker Atlee. The team shared the official announcement video featuring Deepika and Atlee, who reunite two years after working together in Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan. The makers shared, “The Queen marches to conquer!❤‍🔥 Welcome onboard @deepikapadukone ✨ #TheFacesOfAA22xA6 #AA22xA6 – A Magnum Opus from Sun Pictures💥@alluarjunonline @atlee47 #SunPictures #AA22 #A6.”

Fans comment on the post.

While some fans lauded Deepika and Atlee in the comment section, a majority of them took digs at Sandeep Reddy Vanga. One user wrote, “@vangaism take some notes on how to properly treat the queen 👸🏻🤣” Another wrote, “#sandeepreddyvanga see this is her versatility, reputation and Range. Learn ethics and values to respect a woman. Not directing a film where feminine should be used to disgraced and harrassed by masculine power.” A third user wrote, “THAT’s MOTHER!!! what a punch on vanga’s face without saying a word. that’s how you hold up ur chin with dignity. her role looks promising, atlee presents her really good on screen. she was one of the strongest part of jawan.” One more commented, “That’s how a director respect queen Deepika 🙌🔥.” One troll even stated, “Vanga must be feeling so irritated now, lol.”
