Rumours surrounding Shah Rukh Khan’s alleged cameo in Allu Arjun and Atlee’s upcoming big-budget film Raaka have been doing the rounds on social media for the past few days. Several reports even claimed that the Bollywood superstar would shoot his special appearance during the film’s overseas schedule. However, the speculation has now been put to rest.
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Shah Rukh Khan is not a part of Raaka, and there is no cameo planned for him in the film.
No Shah Rukh Khan Cameo In Raaka
Sources close to the project have dismissed the ongoing rumours, stating that Shah Rukh Khan was never approached for any cameo because such a role doesn’t exist in the film.
A source quoted by the publication said, “Atlee shares a great rapport with Shah Rukh, and he would certainly love to work with him again, but the reports about his cameo in Raaka are baseless.”
The clarification comes after several social media posts suggested that SRK would reunite with Atlee after the blockbuster success of Jawan, leading fans to believe that another collaboration was on the cards.
Raaka Shoot Continues In Full Swing
Despite the rumours, the production of Raaka is progressing at a rapid pace. The team recently wrapped up a major action schedule, and the next phase of filming is scheduled to begin in Mumbai from August 6.
During this schedule, Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone will shoot several crucial sequences. Reports suggest that the makers are focusing on completing Deepika’s portions before she takes a maternity break next month.
The film is expected to complete principal photography by the end of this year, with a grand theatrical release planned for late 2027.
Will Raaka Release In Two Parts?
Interestingly, earlier reports suggested that the makers are considering splitting Raaka into two parts because of its massive storyline and extensive footage.
Although no official decision has been taken yet, director Atlee is reportedly evaluating whether the fantasy action epic would benefit from a two-part release. A final call is expected only after filming is completed.
Star-Studded Cast Of Raaka
Backed by Sun Pictures, Raaka is being mounted on a massive scale and is expected to be one of the biggest Indian films ever made.
Apart from Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone, the film also stars:
- Mrunal Thakur
- Rashmika Mandanna
- Janhvi Kapoor
- Ramya Krishnan
- Jim Sarbh
- Yogi Babu
The film is said to be set in a parallel universe and promises large-scale action, fantasy elements and cutting-edge visual effects.
Shah Rukh Khan Busy With King
While Shah Rukh Khan won’t be appearing in Raaka, the superstar is currently busy with King, directed by Siddharth Anand.
The actor is expected to begin the film’s final overseas schedule later this month. King, which also stars Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat and others, is scheduled to hit theatres during the Christmas 2026 weekend.
With the makers officially denying the cameo rumours, fans hoping to see another Shah Rukh Khan-Atlee collaboration in Raaka will have to wait a little longer. For now, the focus remains firmly on completing the ambitious fantasy epic before its much-anticipated 2027 release.
