On the professional front, Allu Arjun is currently immersed in his ambitious upcoming project, Raaka. On the occasion of his birthday, the actor unveiled the film’s first-look poster, instantly grabbing attention with a striking transformation.

His kohl-lined eyes and the eerie detail of a claw emerging from his woollen attire add to the intensity, suggesting he may be portraying a powerful and intimidating role.
The film also marks Allu Arjun’s first collaboration with filmmaker Atlee, raising expectations among fans. Reports suggest that the actor could be seen playing four distinct roles—a grandfather, a father, and two sons—highlighting the film’s ambitious narrative scale. There is also speculation that the storyline may delve into the concept of parallel universes, although the makers have not officially confirmed these details yet.
