Young music composer Sai Abhyankar is reportedly bound by an exclusivity clause that prevents him from signing other Telugu films until Allu Arjun and Atlee’s upcoming film, ‘Raaka’, releases in theatres.

The reported contractual condition comes as anticipation builds around the ambitious project, which marks a major collaboration between the actor and the filmmaker.

However, the film’s makers have not officially confirmed the reported restriction.

Sai Abhyankar reportedly restricted from signing other Telugu films

According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, Sai Abhyankar’s reported restriction on signing other Telugu films forms part of his contractual obligations for ‘Raaka’.

The makers have not publicly confirmed the reported clause, and its precise terms remain unclear.If the reported exclusivity arrangement is in place, it could allow the composer to focus on the film’s music while limiting announcements about his other Telugu projects until ‘Raaka’ reaches theatres. The restriction is reportedly specific to Telugu cinema and does not necessarily mean that he has been barred from taking up projects across the wider South Indian film industry.

Sai Abhyankar, known for independent hits such as ‘Katchi Sera’ and ‘Pavazha Malli’, has emerged as a prominent young name in music. His film credits include ‘Dude’ and Suriya’s ‘Karuppu’. His association with ‘Raaka’ has consequently drawn attention to the projects he may take up next.

Allu Arjun’s striking look in ‘Raaka’

‘Raaka’ is being positioned as a large-scale science-fiction project. The makers unveiled the title on Allu Arjun’s birthday, accompanying the announcement with a poster that offered a glimpse of his striking transformation.The actor appeared with a bald head, kohl-lined eyes, a thick grey beard and sharp facial features, while a clawed hand partially covered his face. The unusual look sparked curiosity about his character and the film’s visual world. Reports have also suggested that Allu Arjun will appear in multiple avatars, although further details about his roles have not been officially disclosed.

Reported cast of Allu Arjun and Atlee’s film

Deepika Padukone has been announced as the female lead in ‘Raaka’.

Rashmika Mandanna, Janhvi Kapoor, Aishwarya Lekshmi and Mrunal Thakur have also been linked to the project in reports, but their involvement has not been officially confirmed.The film brings together Allu Arjun, coming off the success of ‘Pushpa 2’, and Atlee, whose previous directorial venture, ‘Jawan’, starring Shah Rukh Khan, was a major box-office success.
