Noted filmmaker Atlee has added another feather on his cap as he was conferred with an honorary doctorate by Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology in Chennai.

At the 34th convocation ceremony held on Saturday, the Chancellor of the university, Dr. Mariazeena Johnson presented the title along with a plaque of the award. During the event, degrees were awarded to 5,031 students. Atlee's wife Priya and his mother were also present during the event.

Atlee, who last made the blockbuster Jawan with Shah Rukh Khan in 2023, is preparing for his next film with Allu Arjun. Tentatively titled AA22xA6 and also starring Deepika Padukone, the film is being produced under the banner of Sun Pictures, with Kalanithi Maran onboard as presenter.

The project was officially announced in April, featuring Allu Arjun, Atlee and a few Hollywood technicians discussing the sci-fi visual design for their film. Reportedly, actors like Mrunal Thakur and Janhvi Kapoor are in consideration to play prominent roles as well. The much-anticipated film is expected to have extensive CGI work involved in it. However, plot details are under wraps. So is a release date.

Atlee also served as a producer for the Hindi film Baby John (2024), starring Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi and Jackie Shroff. Directed by Kalees, the film was an official remake of Atlee's 2016 Tamil hit Theri, headlined by Vijay.
