Allu Arjun’s much talked about upcoming film Raaka is already getting a lot of buzz, and now there’s this casting update that people are definitely watching. Actor Babloo Prithiveeraj says he’s in the film, and he also shared a bit about how it feels to be part of the team.
Prithiveeraj Confirms Raaka Casting
Babloo Prithiveeraj, who’s known for his stint in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, recently confirmed he’s part of Raaka in a Telugu interview. He mentioned that he managed to lock in a key role, and that viewers will see him in a different look too.
But He’s not saying much about what his character actually does. Apparently, Prithiveeraj has an arrangement with the makers so he can’t spill additional information, or talk about the plot at all for now.
Working With Atlee, and Allu Arjun
Prithiveeraj also opened up on the experience of working with director Atlee. He praised the overall scale, and the way the project is being shaped. According to him, Raaka is being made on an international level, and there’s a Hollywood crew involved, which is a big deal.
For him, teaming up with Allu Arjun in something this huge is straight up a dream. And his words only added more curiosity, specially because multiple parts of the project are still being kept quiet.
Raaka Cast and Crew
Even with Prithiveeraj confirming he’s part of it, Sun Pictures and Atlee haven’t officially named the full supporting cast yet. Deepika Padukone is expected to play the female lead, while reports are pointing toward Rashmika Mandanna, Mrunal Thakur, and a few others maybe being involved too.
Sai Abhyankkar is handling the music. With Allu Arjun, Atlee, and a rumored international production setup coming together, Raaka is already sitting high on the “most awaited” list in the South Indian film world.
Release Date:
Raaka recently came back into the spotlight after rumors floated that it could release on December 31, 2027. Still, the makers haven’t put out an official confirmation for the release date.
