Following the massive success of ‘Jawan’ with Shah Rukh Khan, director Atlee has now shared his admiration for the hit film ‘Kantara’ and hinted at exciting developments in his upcoming project with ‘Pushpa’ star Allu Arjun.
In an exclusive chat with India Today Digital, Atlee said, “The shooting is going well as planned, god is so kind. Every step is a baby step. This genre of the film. There is no bible, we have already done here. So we have to incorporate lot of Bibles, lot of pipelines, work pipelines, how to make it. So we are discovering everything and we are trying to pull something bigger for the audience to give a new taste, new visualisation. Everything is falling in place.”
Talking about taking risks with the film, Atlee added, “Audience are really sweet and they only pushing me every now and then. When I did Rajarani, it was a love film. Thay wanted to do something great. The love the audience give they expect something out if me so it is not a risk to be very frank I’m really enjoying the process I am trying to do something which is going to be very new, very intriguing, addictive to watch.”
He also teased Allu Arjun’s transformation for the project, saying, “Please wait for few months, we are working to show you something. One thing I can assure we are going to make something which we have not seen before. We are working with a lot of Hollywood people. Hollywood technicians are also working for this film, even they are also saying its very challenging film that means i think we are craeting something big.”
Atlee has been busy shooting for his next film, tentatively titled AA22 x A6. The film stars Allu Arjun in the lead, marking his return to the big screen after the monumental success of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’. The project also features Deepika Padukone, and speculation suggests other big names like Rashmika Mandanna, Mrunal Thakur, and Janhvi Kapoor may be associated with the film, although official confirmations are still pending.
