Actor Deepika Padukone turned 40 on January 5. The production house Sun Pictures wished the versatile actor with two pictures. The fans are debating on social media if these are AI-generated or fan-made. Let’s take a look at the deeper details.

Viral Photo from Sun Pictures

Sun Pictures, the production house of her upcoming film with Atlee and Arjun, posted a picture of her in a flowy outfit, standing against the sun and rocky terrain, writing, “Wishing the super talented @deepikapadukone a very happy birthday!” 

Sun Music also posted a wish for Deepika, featuring a vastly different picture that shows her in a samurai warrior outfit, wielding two swords. “Wishing the gorgeous actress @deepikapadukone a very Happy Birthday!” they wrote, posting a picture of her standing in the field with the sun in the background.

Reactions from Fans

With no mention of AA22 X A6 in the birthday wishes, and Atlee or Allu Arjun not sharing them, fans were confused if these were just fan-made posters or her first look from the film. 

A fan identified that the picture they reused is from a shoot she did with Marie Claire in May 2025.

“Where is the first look???” wrote a confused fan on X (formerly Twitter). Another commented, “Okok relax guys kalki movie lo migilipoina poster ki eedi watermark add chesadu anta. (Relax guys, he added his watermark to a leftover poster from Kalki 2898 AD).”

“Samurai look?” asked one confused fan, while another wondered if it was made with the help of AI, writing, “Why it looks sooo AI coded? Even the skin tone looks like it was generated in chatgpt.” 

When a Redditor asked, “Is this the look reveal of DP from Atlee - Allu Arjun movie?” another one mentioned, “Sun Music usually does fan edits.” A fan even commented, “I genuinely thought this was a fanmade poster until I checked the account.”

About AA22 X A6

Sun Pictures released a video to officially announce the yet-to-be-titled film with Atlee on Allu Arjun’s birthday in April last year. The 2-minute 34-second video showed the actor and the film’s team meeting various VFX and CGI experts from around the world for the film.

The video also hinted that the film would be a sci-fi movie. The production house officially announced with another video that Deepika was also on board the film. 

The magnum opus will mark Deepika’s reunion with director Atlee, following their successful collaboration on the 2023 blockbuster Jawan. It will also be her first on-screen pairing with Allu Arjun. Further updates for the film are awaited.
