Actress Aishwarya Lekshmi denies rumours that she is part of Allu Arjun and filmmaker Atlee’s upcoming film Raaka. In an interview referenced by multiple outlets, she says she is not involved with the project and asks that someone “please cast” her instead, addressing speculation that had circulated online.
Both reports describe Raaka as a highly anticipated film and note that it is directed by Atlee and marks a collaboration with Allu Arjun. They also outline widely reported production details and casting expectations, including that the movie is said to span multiple timelines, with Mrunal Thakur leading the contemporary portion and Deepika Padukone appearing in a historical segment. However, the outlets agree that Lekshmi’s role has not been confirmed and that she explicitly rejects claims of her casting, including reports that suggested she could play a negative character.
