The collaboration between South Indian superstar Allu Arjun and director of 'Jawan', Atlee, on a large-budget science fiction action film titled 'Raka' is set to happen soon. The latest and most interesting information about this long-awaited movie has emerged.
According to reports, in the film, Allu Arjun will be presented to the audience not with one, but with three different personas. Regarding the female roles, 'Raka' will feature around seven actresses alongside Allu Arjun, comparable to the five actresses in Yash's film 'Toxic'.
According to Mid-Day, in this science fiction project, Allu Arjun will take on a triple role for the first time. One of his characters will portray a divine warrior, while another will be a more negative and ambiguous figure. Details of the third character remain a mystery. This new portrayal of Allu Arjun after the film 'Pushpa' is considered a huge surprise for his fans.
The actresses' roles are also hinted at quite intriguingly. Deepika Padukone plays the role of a pregnant woman from the mythological Vedic period, and it is reported that she has already completed shooting her part. Rashmika Mandanna will play the protector of Deepika's character, playing a key role in the fight for her life. Despite a hip injury, Rashmika is fully prepared for this project.
'Raka' will also feature Janhvi Kapoor as a tribal girl, and Aishwarya Akshi's role in Malayalam cinema is described as mysterious and ambiguous. The plot of 'Raka' is woven across three different timelines, where viewers will see dangerous wild animals, unique creatures, and many different species.
The creators plan to start the massive shooting schedule at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad next month, in September. A very extensive set is being prepared for this. During the shoot, extremely important scenes of the 'interval block' will be filmed, in which Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, and Aishwarya Akshi will participate in exciting action sequences.
The cast of this film is not limited to these names. Reports suggest that Mrinal Thakur, Ramya Krishnan, Femina George, Naila Greywal, Yogi Babu, and Jim Sarbh will also participate in special roles. There are also rumors of a possible joining by Vijay Sethupathi, although the creators have not yet announced the final cast.
Furthermore, there are rumors that Shah Rukh Khan might make an impressive cameo in this film, but there is no official confirmation of this yet.
