Following the runaway success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, Tollywood superstar Allu Arjun is diving headfirst into his next collaboration with director Atlee, currently operating under the working title AA22xA6. Known for his dedication to every role, Arjun has embarked on a rigorous physical transformation, training under celebrity fitness expert Lloyd Stevens.
A Glimpse Behind the Scenes
Stevens treated fans to an inside look at Arjun’s workout, sharing an Instagram snapshot of the actor’s fitness watch mid‑session. The data spoke volumes: 295 kilocalories burned, an average heart rate of 140 BPM, and peaks touching 167 BPM. The post, captioned “@alluarjunonline POV,” showcased both the intensity of the regimen and the camaraderie between trainer and trainee.
Proven Expertise
Stevens isn’t new to craft‑shaping roles for top stars. His résumé includes sculpting Ranveer Singh, Jr. NTR for RRR, and Mahesh Babu to their on‑screen personas—making him a go‑to authority for high‑stakes transformations.
Dual Role, Single Hero
Contrary to earlier rumors of a multi‑hero setup, AA22xA6 will feature Allu Arjun in a thrilling dual role, with no co‑lead. The project, announced by Sun Pictures in April and produced by Kalanithi Maran, promises to be a “landmark cinematic event.”
VFX supervisor James Madigan (Iron Man 2, Transformers) admitted, “My head is still spinning after reading the script.”
Oscar‑winning FX director Justin Raleigh praised the “creature potential” and complex character work on display.
Anticipation Builds
With world‑class technicians onboard and Arjun pushing his limits in the gym, AA22xA6 is shaping up as one of 2025’s most eagerly awaited blockbusters. As Allu Arjun refines both mind and body, moviegoers can expect an avatar that raises the bar for performance and spectacle.
