"The poster is intriguing and amazing."
Allu Arjun revealed the title and a striking poster for his collaboration with director Atlee on his birthday recently.
The film is titled Raaka and features the actor in an extremely bold and unconventional bald look.
Sun Pictures shared the poster following a teaser that had previously introduced some sharp animal claws.
Arjun appears with kohl eyes and unique markings on his forehead that look remarkably like some ancient Viking tattoos.
The animal claws featured in the earlier teaser are prominently displayed on the actor in the new title poster.
This unique avatar has sparked a lot of discussion regarding the possible mythological or tribal themes of the story.
The marking on his forehead contributes to a rugged appearance that is very different from his usual stylish character.
The highly anticipated film also stars Deepika Padukone in a lead role within this massive pan-India cinematic project.
Shah Rukh Khan set social media buzzing after he shared a warm birthday message for Allu Arjun.
“The poster is intriguing and amazing just like you are.
“Can’t wait to see what you guys have put together. This experience will be… in Atlee’s words, Mass masss massss!! Raaka looks so exciting, all the best!”
Allu Arjun responded with equal warmth by calling the birthday message from the Bollywood superstar a very special one indeed.
“Shah Rukh Garu… thank you so much for your wonderful birthday wishes.
“This is definitely a very special one, sir. We hope to win your heart with what we are trying to do.
“Thank you for all your love and support. Love and respect.”
Director Atlee reshared the warm message from Shah Rukh Khan and promised to make the superstar even prouder soon.
He described the upcoming film as his most personal project yet because he had held the idea for eighteen years.
“Raaka isn’t just a film… It’s a part of me I’ve carried for years.
“For 18 years, I held on to one idea, never letting it fade.
“It tested me, shaped me, and stayed with me through everything. And honestly… this is just the beginning.”
The film will release in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali and even Arabic.
Fans have reacted positively to the jaw-dropping look while the official release date remains a total mystery.
The studio had teased the big reveal a day earlier to build up massive excitement among the global fanbases.
This project marks a significant milestone as it brings together two of the most popular names in Indian cinema.
Sun Pictures appears confident in the success of this collaboration, which has been in the works for quite some time.
