One of the most talked-about projects in Indian cinema, Raaka, starring Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee, is now reportedly targeting a December 2027 release. The film, which was previously known by its working title *AA22xA6*, is expected to be mounted on a massive scale with extensive visual effects and a lengthy production timeline.
December 2027 release plan takes shape
The makers are aiming for a December 2027 release window for Raaka. The timeline is said to be influenced by the film’s ambitious scale and the substantial visual effects work required after shooting is completed. The project is expected to undergo an extended post-production phase before reaching theatres, according to reports cited by News18.
The film is currently in production, with the team reportedly preparing for major shooting schedules in the coming months. Industry reports suggest that significant portions of the story will be filmed during these extended schedules.

From AA22xA6 to Raaka
The film officially received the title Raaka earlier this year. On Allu Arjun’s birthday, the makers unveiled the title and first-look poster, ending months of speculation surrounding the project. The poster featured the actor in a striking new avatar, generating widespread discussion among fans.
The title reveal was accompanied by the message, "Prepare yourself for a vision beyond limits." The poster was also released in multiple languages, indicating the makers’ intention to position the film as a major pan-India release, as per News18.
Big names attached to the project
Raaka marks the first collaboration between Allu Arjun and filmmaker Atlee, whose previous directorial venture Jawan achieved major commercial success. The film is expected to feature Deepika Padukone in a key role, while reports have also linked several other prominent actors to the project.
The movie has been described as a large-scale sci-fi action entertainer, with Atlee earlier indicating that the project would blend science-fiction elements with high-octane action.

While the makers are yet to formally announce the release date, reports suggest that December 2027 is currently the target as work progresses on the ambitious project.
