29 Jul
Summary
- The film is planned as a two-part franchise.
- It will feature dual timelines: tribal Vedic and modern.
- A Rs 1,000 crore budget makes it a massive cinematic venture.
Allu Arjun's highly anticipated film, Raaka, directed by Atlee, is being developed as an expansive two-part franchise. The ambitious project is slated for a budget exceeding Rs 1,000 crore, positioning it as one of the most significant cinematic undertakings.
The narrative of Raaka will span two distinct worlds and timelines. One part of the story will be set in a tribal Puranic Vedic period, while the other will unfold in a modern, contemporary world. This dual-timeline approach aims to deepen the mythology and world-building for the franchise.
Female leads are cast across these timelines, with Mrunal Thakur featuring in the modern segment. Deepika Padukone, Janhvi Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna are reportedly part of the historical period segment. The film also includes a much-discussed cameo by Shah Rukh Khan, which is slated to be filmed overseas.
The two-part format is expected to offer a grander canvas for the story, connecting historical and modern elements with Allu Arjun at its core. An official announcement regarding the release strategy is awaited, with the makers remaining tight-lipped.
