A22XA6 is ‘insanely massive’

Allu Arjun’s film has been progressing briskly in Mumbai over the last three months. Although members of the cast and crew have taken frequent breaks and have paused the work, we have learnt that the schedule is still on. The spotlight has once again turned on the film with Hokuto Konishi revealing that he has been working on the A22XA6 project for over a month. He has always been so curious about the Indian film industry, and so this was definitely the best dive right into the deep end. Although Hokuto is not at liberty to talk about the project, he promises that the film is going to be ‘insanely massive.’ Hokuto shares that his experience of delving deep into a new film industry and understanding different cultures is liberating.

Mumbai schedule, a long haul

According to sources close to the unit, director Atlee intends to complete major sequences involving international technicians and actors in Mumbai. He feels that logistically, Mumbai is a comfortable place for production and to work with the global crew. As such, the shooting schedule in Mumbai has been a long haul. “Several technicians and stuntmen are presently in Mumbai working on the film at a specially built VFX set. Allu Arjun has been taking frequent breaks and travelling to Hyderabad and other places while Mumbai continues to be his workplace.”

Donald Trump’s H-1B visa fee increase to $100,000, intended to safeguard US jobs, is reportedly backfiring. US companies are now accelerating the shift of high-value work, including AI and product development, to India’s booming Global Capability Centers. This move could turbocharge India’s rise as a global innovation hub, despite potential future tax hurdles.
