Priyanka Chopra Rejects Allu Arjun’s A6 Film, Priyanka Chopra, SSMB29 Movie

In a new update that ends weeks of speculation, Priyanka Chopra has rejected the lead role in Allu Arjun’s upcoming film with Atlee, tentatively titled A6. She has instead chosen to focus on SS Rajamouli’s next big project with Mahesh Babu, known as SSMB29. This decision adds a fresh twist to her return to Indian cinema and has sparked strong reactions from fans across the country.

Priyanka Chopra Picks Rajamouli’s Film Over Atlee’s A6

As soon as rumors spread about Priyanka’s comeback, fans eagerly waited to see which major Indian film she would choose. The top contenders included Atlee’s A6 with Allu Arjun and Rajamouli’s film with Mahesh Babu. Early buzz suggested that Atlee had offered the lead role in A6 to Priyanka, which created major excitement among Telugu film lovers.

However, sources close to the development confirm that Atlee did approach Priyanka for A6, but she turned down the offer after reading the script. She didn’t find the story compelling and chose not to move forward with it. While some earlier reports claimed Atlee never made the offer, insiders now confirm that he did reach out, but Priyanka simply didn’t feel interested in the project.

Atlee Drops Film with Salman Khan as Well

Atlee also considered casting Priyanka in another film opposite Salman Khan. But he dropped that project too. With both of Atlee’s collaborations off the table, Priyanka has now shifted her full focus to SSMB29, a massive action-adventure that Rajamouli will direct. The team plans to start production later this year and aims to deliver one of Indian cinema’s biggest upcoming films.

Allu Arjun Moves Ahead with A6

Meanwhile, Allu Arjun, who recently delivered a huge hit with Pushpa 2, is preparing to start shooting for A6. He will reportedly play a dual role in the film. The team plans to begin production in August. With Priyanka out of the picture, the makers continue to search for the right female lead.

Priyanka Chopra Plans a Strong Comeback to Indian Films

Although Priyanka has gained global fame through her Hollywood work, Indian fans continue to follow her career closely. SSMB29 serves as her key comeback vehicle, and she may also join the cast of Krrish 4, another major Indian franchise. These choices show that Priyanka is making her return to Indian cinema with care and precision.

She recently attended her husband Nick Jonas’s musical The Last Five Years in New York and praised the show as “truly incredible artistry.” Although that appearance attracted media attention, fans are more excited to watch her take on big roles in Indian films again.

Now that Priyanka Chopra has clearly chosen her path, her Bollywood comeback has officially begun.
