Will Smith to join Allu Arjun, Atlee’s Raaka? Hollywood star may shoot overseas

Will Smith

Allu Arjun, Atlee, and Deepika Padukone can ‘Raaka', with some of Indian cinema's biggest players of the current crop attached to it, get any bigger? Turns out, it can. Rumours suggest that Hollywood star Will Smith is set to shoot his portions in the sci-fi epic's next schedule. The Oscar winner was approached last year to play the primary antagonist, and after a year-long discussion, it has been heard that an overseas schedule is in order.

Allu Arjun

A source close to the production revealed to mid-day that the location is yet to be locked. In all likelihood, the schedule will be conducted after September. "Will Smith's dates are being worked out. The overseas location will be locked depending on his availability. His costumes have been finalised and there is immense excitement in the crew for the next leg," said a source working on the project.

Shah Rukh Khan

Recent reports suggested that Shah Rukh Khan is not a part of ‘Raaka'. However, our source indicated that the superstar will shoot a cameo for Atlee's directorial venture. The source added, "Shah Rukh will also join the international schedule at some point. He is currently shooting the final song for ‘King', and will face the camera for ‘Raaka' after September."
