Ramya Krishnan, who won nationwide acclaim as the formidable Sivagami in Baahubali, is reportedly preparing to return in another commanding role. Her portrayal of a queen who ruled Mahishmati with sheer authority not only impressed audiences but also gave her career a massive resurgence, leading to a wave of film offers. However, the veteran actress has since been selective, carefully choosing projects that allow her to deliver memorable performances.
Industry sources suggest that Ramya Krishnan has now been cast in a pivotal part in Allu Arjun’s upcoming film with Tamil director Atlee. The fantasy drama, currently referred to by its working title AA22, is already one of the most anticipated projects in Indian cinema due to its scale and star power. Reports claim that Atlee was determined to bring Ramya on board, convinced that only she could do justice to a particularly powerful character written into the story.
Adding to the buzz, the film’s casting has been creating headlines almost daily. Names such as Deepika Padukone, Mrunal Thakur, Rashmika Mandanna, Janhvi Kapoor, and newcomer Bhagyashree Borse are all being associated with the project, though only a couple have been confirmed officially so far. The speculation has only heightened curiosity about how Atlee plans to shape the narrative.
Interestingly, rumours also hint that Ramya Krishnan may be playing Allu Arjun’s mother in the film. If true, this would mark the first time the two actors share screen space, making it a fresh pairing to watch. Insiders reveal that Ramya was impressed with Atlee’s narration and immediately agreed to be part of the project. An official announcement on her involvement is expected soon.
Filming is already underway, with a schedule in Mumbai recently completed. Atlee and the team are now preparing for the next leg of shooting, with plans to wrap up production in time for a 2026 release. Backed by Sun Pictures with an estimated budget of ₹400 crore, AA22 is shaping up to be a spectacle. With Allu Arjun fresh off the success of Pushpa 2, expectations are soaring, and the addition of Ramya Krishnan has only added more weight to the film’s hype.
