Moreover, the team has unveiled the behind-the-scenes visuals from the film depicting several performers being used for the motion-capture animation. Several technicians, including artists who worked on the Fast and Furious film series and Spider-Man movies, were also spotted working on the project.
Here’s the update:
Raaka is being presented as a parallel-universe film. Its first-look poster featured Allu Arjun in a hybrid, beast-like appearance, drawing comparisons to a werewolf-inspired character.
While further details about the project remain under wraps, the makers have confirmed Deepika Padukone as the female lead. The film is expected to feature extensive CGI and VFX, with Sai Abhyankkar composing the songs and background score.
According to early reports, the film is being planned as a two-part project. The report stated that the story would unfold across two timelines, with one set in an ancient tribal era and the other taking place in a contemporary setting.
Reportedly, the film is also set to feature Hollywood actor Will Smith in a key role. However, nothing has been officially confirmed regarding his involvement as of now.
Allu Arjun’s work front
Apart from Raaka, Allu Arjun is set to collaborate with Lokesh Kanagaraj on the tentatively titled AA23 (LK07). The film will feature music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, marking his first collaboration with Arjun.
The actor is also expected to collaborate with actor-director Basil Joseph on an ambitious project, although an official announcement is still awaited.
