Summary
- Shah Rukh Khan's cameo in Raaka is officially denied by sources.
- Raaka filming continues with Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone in Mumbai.
- The film is a fantasy actioner planned for a late 2027 release.
Contrary to swirling rumors, Shah Rukh Khan will not be making a cameo appearance in the highly anticipated film Raaka, starring Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee. Sources close to the project have confirmed that Khan was never approached for such a role, dispelling all speculation. The film's production is progressing rapidly, with action-packed schedules recently completed and a new leg commencing in Mumbai. This upcoming segment will feature Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone in pivotal sequences.
Deepika Padukone is set to complete her principal photography for Raaka before her maternity leave next month. The production aims for completion by the end of 2026, targeting a grand theatrical release in late 2027. There are also ongoing discussions about potentially splitting the expansive fantasy actioner, set in a parallel universe, into two parts due to its grand storyline and star-studded pan-India ensemble cast.
This Sun Pictures production boasts a notable cast including Allu Arjun, Deepika Padukone, Mrunal Thakur, Rashmika Mandanna, and Janhvi Kapoor, alongside Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu, and Jim Sarbh. Separately, Shah Rukh Khan is preparing to start the final overseas schedule for his film King, directed by Siddharth Anand, which is on track for a Christmas 2026 weekend release.
