About 'Raaka'
A few days ago, on Allu Arjun's 44th birthday, the director officially shared the actor's first look from the film. Atlee posted the poster on his X handle and wrote, '#Raaka isn't just a film... it's a part of me I've carried for years. For 18 years, I held on to one idea, never letting it fade. It tested me, shaped me, and stayed with me through everything. And honestly... this is just the beginning.' Raaka is set to be a grand sci-fi epic. Reports also suggest that Mrunal Thakur, Janhvi Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna may be part of the project.
