Amid speculation about Mrunal Thakur also being part of the film: A practical reader guide

Atlee’s upcoming film Raaka, starring Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone, is among the most anticipated releases of 2027.

The sci-fi actioner marks the actors’ first onscreen collaboration, while Deepika has previously worked with Atlee on Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan.

Amid speculation about Mrunal Thakur also being part of the film, the actor neither confirms nor denies the reports when asked about them in an interview with HT City. The actor also hopes to be part of stories that resonate with audiences beyond the screen. “And I would like to be a part of films that are not just challenging for me, but helps people get through their problems. Meanwhile, the actor is happy to see her work reaching audiences outside India. She also speaks about a viewer from the Philippines who had watched an episode of Made in Heaven and an American viewer who had watched Sita Ramam after Indian friends recommended the romantic drama.

And you know, make them more decisive and make them a better person,” she says. Recalling an encounter in Paris, she says someone approached her about Love Sonia. “I am just happy to be entering into the industry in a time where my work is appreciated not just in India,” she says, adding, “And I was like, if my work is traveling across the world, why not?”
