Shah Rukh Khan calls Allu Arjun's first look from Raaka 'intriguing & amazing'

Shah Rukh Khan wishes Allu Arjun a happy birthday, praising the intense first look poster of his new film Raaka with Atlee and Deepika Padukone.

"the poster is intriguing and amazing just like you are. - Shah Rukh Khan"

Mumbai, April 8

As birthday wishes pour in for Tollywood sensation Allu Arjun, Bollywood heartthrob Shah Rukh Khan also penned a special birthday post for the 'Pushpa' actor on social media.

Commemorating the special day of the Stylish Star, the makers of his next with Atlee shared that the film has been christened "Raaka". They also unveiled the first look of Allu Arjun from the drama previously called "AA22xA6".

Praising the first look poster from "Raaka", King Khan termed it as "intriguing and amazing".

SRK also shared that he is extremely thrilled to see what they have in store for the audience.

Shah Rukh penned on the photo-sharing app, "Happy Birthday @alluarjun... 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!! @Atlee_dir (sic)."

It might be exciting to know that SRK worked with Atlee for his last release, "Jawan", for which he even bagged his first National Award for 'Best Actor'

The first look of "Raaka" features an intense close-up of Allu Arjun's rugged face. His face is partially hidden by a wolf-like claw, with one of his eyes sharply in focus, staring with a predatory intensity.

Sharing the first look poster, the makers wrote on social media, "#AA22xA6 is now #Raaka Prepare yourself for a vision beyond limits @alluarjunonline @atlee47 @deepikapadukone."

With Deepika Padukone as the leading lady, the project will mark the primary on-screen pairing of the 'Piku' actress with Allu Arjun.

On the other hand, King Khan is currently busy with Siddharth Anand's "King".

In January this year, the makers revealed that "King" will "roar" in the cinema halls on December 24.

"#KING is Ready to ROAR on 24.12.2026 in Cinemas. #ItsKingTime #KingDateAnnouncement," they posted the update on the internet.

The poster looks fire! Allu Arjun + Atlee + Deepika Padukone is a dream combo. After Jawan, Atlee knows how to create mass moments. December 2026 for King feels so far away though... SRK should do a cameo in Raaka maybe?

Respectful criticism: I love both stars, but this feels like a very calculated PR move. SRK praising a film by his Jawan director, who is now working with a rival top star. It's all about maintaining good industry relationships, which is smart, but let's not pretend it's purely organic fan excitement.

The collaboration between industries is the best part of modern Indian cinema. No more "Bollywood vs South" nonsense. Great artists appreciating each other's work. The poster is genuinely intriguing - what's the story with that claw?

Mass masss massss indeed! 😂 SRK quoting Atlee is so wholesome. Allu Arjun's intensity in that poster is next level. Hope the story matches the hype. Deepika pairing with him is fresh too. 2025 is stacked with big films!
