Icon Star Allu Arjun is currently busy shooting for his highly anticipated upcoming film Raaka, which is being directed by blockbuster filmmaker Atlee. Produced on a grand scale by Sun Pictures, the film is one of the most awaited pan-Indian projects and is already generating significant buzz.

The casting of Raaka has been a major talking point ever since the project was announced. Deepika Padukone is associated with the film, while there have also been reports suggesting that Janhvi Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna could be part of the project. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding the latter two actresses so far.

Amid this ongoing speculation, fresh reports about Janhvi Kapoor’s alleged role have now caught attention. According to the latest reports, the actress is said to be portraying a tribal queen in Raaka. Her character is reportedly expected to have significant importance in the narrative rather than being limited to a conventional supporting role.

If the reports turn out to be true, Janhvi’s character could add another interesting dimension to Atlee’s ambitious world-building. Details about the character, including her relationship with Allu Arjun’s role and her contribution to the central storyline, are currently being kept under wraps.

Meanwhile, the shooting of Raaka is progressing in Mumbai, where the makers have reportedly constructed elaborate sets for the upcoming schedule. Atlee is said to be mounting the film on a large scale, with the project designed as a major pan-Indian spectacle.

Sai Abhyankkar is composing the music for the film. With Allu Arjun and Atlee joining forces for the first time, along with a reported ensemble cast and massive production scale, Raaka continues to remain one of the most closely watched Indian films in production.

The film is expected to arrive in 2027, with further details about the cast and characters likely to be officially announced by the makers in the coming months.
