Summary
- Deepika Padukone is expecting her second child with Ranveer Singh.
- Atlee will use a body double for Deepika's action sequences in Raka.
- Deepika's dramatic scenes will still be filmed by her for the movie.

Actress Deepika Padukone has announced her second pregnancy with husband Ranveer Singh. This news has led to adjustments in the shooting schedule for the upcoming film 'Raka,' directed by Atlee and starring Allu Arjun.
Director Atlee has shown strong support for Padukone's personal news. He has devised a plan to utilize a body double for the film's key action sequences, ensuring Padukone's safety and comfort. Close-up shots featuring Padukone have already been filmed and will be integrated using visual effects.
Padukone's role in 'Raka' is substantial and involves significant action moments, including a major sequence with Allu Arjun. These high-octane scenes will be performed by her body double. However, Padukone will continue to film all dramatic scenes, with her character's part remaining fully intact.
The production team for 'King,' which also features Padukone, has accelerated shooting for her action and song sequences. This proactive approach ensures that all demanding scenes are completed early in the production timeline, respecting her condition and maintaining her integral role in the film.
