Allu Arjun is currently shooting for Raaka, director Atlee’s ambitious pan-India action spectacle. While the makers have kept most details under wraps, a new report suggests the film could be released in two parts, with a special cameo by Shah Rukh Khan also said to be in the works.
However, it’s important to note that the makers have not officially confirmed these reports.
Raaka Reportedly Being Developed as a Two-Part Film
According to reports, Raaka is being planned as a two-part cinematic saga.
The story is reportedly set across two different timelines. One timeline is said to unfold in a tribal, Puranic-Vedic era, while the other is expected to take place in the modern world. If true, the dual narrative could make Raaka one of the most ambitious projects of Allu Arjun’s career.
An official announcement regarding the film’s format is still awaited.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Cameo Yet to Be Shot?
Another report claims that Shah Rukh Khan will make a special cameo appearance in Raaka.
The sequence is reportedly yet to be filmed and is expected to be shot overseas. While the prospect of seeing Shah Rukh Khan share screen space with Allu Arjun has excited fans, neither the production team nor the actors have confirmed the cameo.
Until an official statement is made, the development should be treated as speculation.
More Cast Rumours Surface
Besides Deepika Padukone, who has already been officially confirmed as the film’s female lead, reports suggest several other actresses could join the project.
According to the rumours:
- Mrunal Thakur may play the female lead in the modern-day timeline.
- Janhvi Kapoor could appear in the historical storyline.
- Rashmika Mandanna is also reportedly part of the period portion.
At present, Deepika Padukone remains the only officially confirmed female lead.
A Parallel-Universe Action Spectacle
The makers have previously introduced Raaka as a parallel-universe film.
The first-look poster showcased Allu Arjun in a striking beast-like avatar, with many fans comparing the design to a werewolf-inspired character. The project is expected to rely heavily on CGI and visual effects, promising a visually ambitious cinematic experience.
Music for the film is being composed by Sai Abhyankkar, who will handle both the songs and the background score.
Allu Arjun’s Busy Line-up
Apart from Raaka, Allu Arjun has an exciting slate of upcoming projects.
He is set to collaborate with Lokesh Kanagaraj on the tentatively titled AA23 (LK07). Reports suggest the film recently completed a look test, with a behind-the-scenes glimpse expected soon.
The action entertainer will reportedly feature music by Anirudh Ravichander, marking his first collaboration with Allu Arjun. Meanwhile, Pooja Hegde is rumoured to be in talks for the female lead, although no official confirmation has been made.
The actor is also expected to team up with Basil Joseph for another ambitious project, which is yet to be officially announced.
Final Thoughts
While the possibility of Raaka releasing in two parts and featuring a Shah Rukh Khan cameo has certainly generated excitement, fans should remember that these developments remain unconfirmed. With Atlee directing and Allu Arjun leading the cast, expectations are already sky-high, and audiences will now be eagerly waiting for an official update from the makers.
