The discussions reached Allu Arjun’s manager, Sarath Chandra Naidu, after a social media user asked the Raaka team not to go overboard with its promotional language.

Also, just to clarify….The core team of #Raaka has never compared the film with any path-breaking or genre-defining films. We are confident the content will speak for itself."

The clarification comes amid growing anticipation for the project.
What was the controversy?
Cibi Chakaravarthi commented on the film at the audio launch of Vijay Sethupathi’s Baththa in Chennai. Speaking about Atlee and Raaka, the filmmaker said, “I have seen the visuals of his (Atlee's) films; he showed them to me. Sir, I don’t think even Avatar has visuals like that. Everyone will see what I’m talking about in three days. The visuals were extraordinary. Much like how Rajamouli sir is taking Indian cinema to the next level, I believe Atlee sir will take Indian cinema to the global map.”
About Raaka
Helmed by Atlee, the film also stars Deepika Padukone and is reportedly being developed across three timelines. The reported cast also includes Rashmika Mandanna, Mrunal Thakur, Janhvi Kapoor, Ramya Krishnan, Jim Sarbh and Yogi Babu. Music for the project is being composed by Sai Abhyankkar.
Sarath Chandra Naidu also addressed the speculation surrounding the film's delay, writing, "Yes. It has all the chances to get delayed to 2028, but we can’t say it until it’s confirmed by production team."
