Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has been making headlines ever since her exit from Kalki 2 and Spirit. But the actress still has two big projects like Shah Rukh Khan’s King and Atlee’s upcoming AA22xA6 with Allu Arjun to back her. While Deepika has started shooting with SRK, rumours spread that Atlee’s film might have been cut short due to her demand for limited working hours. But an insider has revealed that there is no truth to such gossip.
Deepika Padukone In Atlee’s Film
As per a Mid-Day report, Deepika Padukone will begin shooting for her upcoming Atlee directorial project later this month. The insider told the publication, “There is no truth to rumours that Deepika’s screen time has been reduced. Her role has not changed from what she was offered when she came on board in June.” They also revealed that her fierce role was crucial for the first and second parts. Reportedly, the actress has allotted late October to December end for this project.
The initial schedule will primarily introduce her character, while Deepika is expected to take on major action sequences in November. By December, the cast and crew will head to the UAE, where she and Allu Arjun will shoot an important mid-film twist along with some emotional moments. Reports of her part in the Atlee being cut short come after her removal from Prabhas’ Kalki 2. It was said that the makers removed her because she was demanding a 25 per cent hike in fees along with a 7-hour work shift. While the makers allegedly tried negotiating with her, she remained stern on her decisions. It is also reported that since she became a mother to Baby Dua, she has been attempting to work shorter hours.
AA22xA6 brings together Allu Arjun and Atlee for the first time and is being described as an action entertainer. Though initial buzz suggested a two-hero plot, the actor’s team confirmed that Allu Arjun will instead be playing dual roles, adding an exciting twist to the storyline.
