While Deepika Padukone continues to bag all the high-profile projects, the internet is pleading for someone to tell her she’s not doing a good job.
The first look of Deepika from the upcoming Atlee-directed AA22 x A6 alongside Allu Arjun is going viral—and there are no praises in sight.

Social media users are calling her expressions “cringe,” questioning if she can really deliver a decent performance next to a powerhouse performer like Allu Arjun.
Fans feel that Deepika’s acting graph is going downhill. From her underwhelming screen presence in KALKI 2898 AD to her awkward intensity and accent in Singham Again, audiences can tell her recent performances lack depth and authenticity.

What’s funny is that her signature wide smile, once endearing, is now seen by many as forced and overused.
Another concern the internet raised was the chemistry, or its lack thereof, between her and South Indian stars. Many argue her glamour pairs better with Bollywood stars like SRK or Hrithik Roshan, but it feels like a miss with actors like Prabhas and now Allu Arjun.

One user also pointed out the stark height difference between Deepika and Allu Arjun doesn’t feel visually appealing and might just distract the viewers from following the film’s narrative.
But this wasn’t always the case. Films like Piku and Tamasha showcased Deepika’s emotional range and her ability to play complex roles.
Even her performances in Gehraiyaan and Chhapaak were appreciated for their honesty and intensity. However, something has shifted—and the audience can tell she’s struggling to recapture that spark.
Despite being labeled as Bollywood’s biggest actress, Deepika’s recent performances don’t reflect any of the compliments she gets.
With AA22 x A6 riding on massive expectations, fans are hoping for more than just star power—they expect a performance that finally lives up to Deepika’s name.
