Raaka, the much-awaited collaboration between Allu Arjun and filmmaker Atlee, has finally been unveiled, with the makers dropping a mysterious first look on the actor’s birthday, April 8. The film, which also stars Deepika Padukone in a leading role, was earlier referred to as AA22xA6.
Marking his 44th birthday, Allu Arjun surprised fans by sharing the film’s title and first-look poster on social media. He wrote, “The wait is over. Gear up for #RAAKA!”—instantly sparking excitement among his followers and the film industry alike.
While the first look doesn’t reveal much about the storyline or the character, it certainly leaves a strong impression. The intense poster hints at a dark and intriguing role, with speculation that the actor might be portraying something beyond a conventional human character—possibly a half-human, half-creature or shape-shifting entity.
The wait is over.

The film is being mounted on a grand scale and is expected to follow the pan-India format, similar to Allu Arjun’s successful Pushpa franchise. Though primarily a Telugu film, Raaka will be dubbed and released in multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, aiming to reach a wider audience across the country.
Despite the buzz, the makers have kept key details tightly under wraps, adding to the mystery surrounding the project. With a powerful team and an intriguing first glimpse, Raaka has already become one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema, leaving fans eagerly waiting for more updates.
