Allu Arjun Trolled Over Looks
Allu Arjun, who is Chiranjeevi’s nephew and Allu Ramalingaiah’s grandson, debuted with Gangotri in 2003. Although social media did not exist back then, his glimpses from the film have till date been used to make memes. And, this was solely due to how the Telugu actor looked.
In a 2024 event as quoted by Hindustan Times, Allu Arjun mentioned that even though the movie was a commercial success, he did not get enough offers. He said, “Nen ekkado chudadaniki pedda goppa ga lenu anesi naku pedda great films raledu (Gangotri was a hit, but I didn’t look great, so good films didn’t come my way).”
Raaka Title Poster Launch
Sun Pictures unveiled the title poster with a caption, “#AA22xA6 is now #Raaka. Prepare yourself for a vision beyond limits.” The makers added the name in different languages tagged Allu Arjun, Atlee and Deepika Padukone to the post. Previously, Allu Arjun dropped an update on the title announcement and said, “Title Poster tomorrow at 11 AM. #AA22xA6”
The poster features fur elements and tusk like visuals, suggesting an aggressive narrative. The golden ‘RAAKA’ title adds a grand cinematic feel. Allu Arjun appears in a bold avatar with a shaved head and thick beard. The actor’s intense gaze is a whole mood in itself.
Helmed by Atlee, Raaka is billed as a high-budget pan-India sci-fi action drama. The film revolves around a reincarnation-driven narrative that spans multiple timelines. Allu Arjun is likely to take on the role of a powerful warrior and creature-like avatar. His mission is to restore cosmic balance in a world threatened by ancient and primordial chaos.
