Fact Check: Did AA22 X A6 Makers Reveal Deepika Padukone’s FIRST Look On Her 40th Birthday?

Fans eagerly awaited Deepika Padukone’s first look from Atlee’s upcoming film with Allu Arjun, but Sun Pictures’ birthday posts have sparked confusion about whether the images are official reveals or fan-made creations. Deepika celebrated her 40th birthday on January 5, and fans were hopeful for a glimpse of her character from AA22 × A6. However, when Sun Pictures and Sun Music, another division of the Sun Network, shared images of Deepika, many fans wondered if these were genuine first looks or just fan-generated posters.

Sun Pictures posted a tribute on social media, wishing Deepika a happy birthday with a caption: “Wishing the super talented @deepikapadukone a very happy birthday!” While this prompted excitement, some fans pointed out that the image appeared to be from a photoshoot with Marie Claire in May 2025. This suggested that it wasn’t an exclusive first look for the film.
