Shah Rukh Khan calls Allu Arjun's Raaka poster "intriguing and amazing." The Atlee film also stars Deepika Padukone. Details inside.

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

New Delhi, April 9

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has expressed excitement over filmmaker Atlee's upcoming project 'Raaka', praising the first look of Allu Arjun as "intriguing and amazing."

The makers unveiled the title and first look poster of 'Raaka' on April 8, coinciding with Allu Arjun's birthday.

Shah Rukh took to X to extend his wishes to the team and share his enthusiasm for the film.

Posting the poster, the actor wrote, "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!!"

Shah Rukh had previously collaborated with Atlee on the blockbuster 'Jawan', which emerged as a massive box office success and earned him his first National Award for Best Actor.

The first look poster of 'Raaka' has already generated considerable buzz online. It features Allu Arjun in a striking and unconventional avatar, partially covering his face with a clawed hand while staring intensely into the camera. His look is marked by kohl-lined eyes, a receding hairline, and a thick, greying moustache and beard.

Director Atlee also shared an emotional note about the film, describing it as a deeply personal project. "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," he wrote on X.

He added that the journey of bringing the story to life had tested and shaped him, calling the film "just the beginning."

Produced by Sun Pictures, 'Raaka' also stars Deepika Padukone in a lead role.

The film marks the first collaboration of Allu Arjun with director 'Atlee'.

Allu Arjun's last release, 'Pushpa 2: The Rule,' directed by Sukumar, did very well at the box office after its release in 2024. The film was a sequel to 'Pushpa: The Rise' and featured Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, Sunil and Rao Ramesh.

Deepika Padukone was last seen in 'Kalki 2898 AD,' which also performed well in theatres.

The first look is absolutely wild! Allu Arjun is a true style icon, always reinventing himself. From Pushpa's swag to this intense, almost villainous look... his commitment is next level. Atlee + Allu Arjun + Deepika is a dream team. Mass indeed!

Honestly, the poster is intriguing but I hope the story delivers. Sometimes these "mass" films rely too much on style over substance. Atlee is a great commercial director, so fingers crossed. Respectful criticism: Hope it's not just another template action drama.

The collaboration we didn't know we needed! Pan-India cinema is truly here. SRK giving his blessings sets the tone. Deepika Padukone in a lead role is the cherry on top. Sun Pictures backing it up means big budget. 2025 is looking exciting for movies!

Atlee saying he carried this idea for 18 years? That's some passion. Makes you believe in the project even more. The look is very different from typical hero introductions. Allu Arjun is fearless.

After the historic success of Pushpa 2, the pressure is on for Bunny. But if anyone can handle it, it's him. This look is already iconic. Waiting for the teaser now! #Raaka
