Raaka Set as Two-Part Franchise, Budgeted at ₹1,000 Crore
A new movie called Raaka is being made in India.
It stars the famous actors Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone.
The film will actually be two movies that are part of the same story.
The makers plan to shoot both parts at the same time and hope to show them in December 2027.
The story will have two different times: one in an ancient tribal world and one in the modern world.
Other actors like Rashmika Mandanna, Janhvi Kapoor, and Mrunal Thakur will also appear.
Deepika Padukone, even though she is pregnant, is doing action scenes for the film.
The movie is very expensive, costing about 1,000 crore rupees, which is a lot of money for a film in India.
Raaka is a two-part franchise starring Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone, directed by Atlee.
The project has a reported budget of ₹1,000 crore, making it one of the most expensive Indian films.
Both parts are planned to be shot together before the end of 2026, with a potential release in December 2027.
The story spans two timelines: a tribal Puranic Vedic period and a modern contemporary world, featuring Rashmika Mandanna, Janhvi Kapoor, and Mrunal Thakur.
Deepika Padukone, despite her pregnancy, is filming intense action sequences for the film.
