The upcoming film starring Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone, directed by Atlee, has officially been titled Raaka. The announcement was made on the occasion of Allu Arjun’s 44th birthday, making it a special moment for fans who had been waiting for an update on the project for a long time.
The makers shared the title along with a new poster on social media. The poster gives a glimpse into the film’s theme and shows Allu Arjun in a different look. He appears bald, with part of his face hidden behind thick fur. A sharp tusk like element is also visible, adding a raw and intense feel. His eyes stand out in the image, giving a strong and mysterious expression.
While announcing the title, the makers wrote, “#AA22xA6 is now #Raaka ⚔️ Prepare yourself for a vision beyond limits ✨”
The film is expected to feature several well known actors in important roles. Reports suggest that Mrunal Thakur, Rashmika Mandanna, and Janhvi Kapoor may be part of the cast, although official confirmation is still awaited.
There were also recent rumours that Shah Rukh Khan would launch the teaser of the film during a virtual event with the lead actors and director. However, these reports have been clarified as untrue, and no such event has been planned.
The film is being produced by Sun Pictures and is said to have a budget of over Rs 700 crore. The next phase of shooting is expected to begin soon at a studio in Mumbai, and production may continue throughout the year. If things go according to plan, the shooting could be completed by the end of 2026.
Allu Arjun’s previous film Pushpa 2 performed very well at the box office. Similarly, Deepika Padukone’s recent film Kalki 2898 AD also received a strong response from audiences.
