Allu Arjun Atlee Film Sparks Copy Controversy
Even before shooting has begun, Allu Arjun and director Atlee’s upcoming film is already being trolled online. The movie, tentatively titled AA22xA6, created buzz when Sun Pictures released a poster to celebrate over 6 million views of the teaser. But instead of excitement, it triggered trolling.
The poster features a desert background with a solar eclipse and the text “Gear Up.” Many internet users instantly compared it to Hollywood’s Dune, saying the style, colors, and mood looked very similar. Memes and jokes started flooding social media, accusing the makers of lacking creativity.
Atlee, despite his hits like Theri, Mersal, and Jawan, has often faced criticism for copying elements from other films. People were expecting something fresh, especially after he promised a movie that would “make India proud.” But now, netizens are doubting that promise, saying if the poster is copied, how original can the film be?
Allu Arjun is riding high after Pushpa and his National Award win, while Atlee has just delivered a massive hit with Jawan. Expectations were sky-high, but the poster backlash has made people more cautious.
However, trolling does bring attention. This early buzz could help the movie’s promotions. Still, the pressure is now on Atlee to deliver a truly original film and prove the critics wrong.
Originality matters more than ever—and audiences are watching closely.
