In Raaka‘s first look poster, Allu Arjun appears in a completely new avatar. The actor is seen embracing a dark, almost devilish look. The star sported heavy prosthetic makeup and kohl-rimmed eyes. A large claw emerged from his woollen attire, suggesting a fierce persona.
Interestingly, the makers unveiled the poster in nine different languages, including Hindi and English, along with multiple regional versions, clearly pointing towards a big pan-India release. The text attached to the post read, “Prepare yourself for a vision beyond limits.”
Raaka marks the debut collaboration between Allu Arjun and Atlee. Allu Arjun will reportedly play four different characters in the film. Sources suggest he will portray a grandfather, a father, and two sons. Deepika Padukone is also playing a pivotal role in the movie. The project has been bankrolled by Sun Pictures.
