Is Deepika Padukone’s screen time in Allu Arjun’s Raaka reduced after pregnancy announcement? Here’s the Truth

Allu Arjun’s upcoming film Raaka, directed by Atlee, has been generating significant buzz ever since its announcement. The release of the film’s first look further added to the anticipation. However, recent reports suggesting that Deepika Padukone’s role in the film had been reduced following her pregnancy announcement sparked speculation online.

The makers have now dismissed these claims, terming them baseless. According to the team, there has been no change in the actress’s role, and the project is progressing as planned.

“Everything is moving as planned. Deepika Padukone plays a crucial role in Raaka, and the shoot is unfolding seamlessly with great energy on set,” the team said in a statement.

Reports also indicate that Deepika Padukone continues to remain professionally active. The actor, who recently announced her second pregnancy, has reportedly been working and recently completed a brand campaign. She is also expected to shoot for action sequences in Raaka, with necessary precautions in place.

The film, helmed by Atlee, is currently being shot as per schedule. The production is said to be maintaining a steady pace, with no reported disruptions.

Deepika Padukone was last seen in Singham Again. She also has Siddharth Anand’s King, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan, in the pipeline. The actor came on board the project after stepping away from Kalki 2898 AD 2 and Spirit. While King primarily focuses on Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan, Deepika is expected to have a significant role in the film as well.
