Actor Deepika Padukone's second pregnancy has sparked speculation about her role in the upcoming film Raaka with Allu Arjun. However, the film's team has clarified that her role remains unchanged.
Several reports suggested that Deepika's role might be cut short or that she could be replaced due to her pregnancy. However, the Raaka team has dismissed these claims as baseless.
In a statement, the team confirmed that Deepika plays a crucial role in Raaka and the shoot is progressing smoothly. They added that Deepika will continue filming throughout her pregnancy, taking all necessary precautions.
Deepika and her husband Ranveer Singh announced their second pregnancy on Sunday, sharing a joint Instagram post. The couple has taken steps to keep their daughter Dua away from the public eye, introducing her to fans during Diwali 2025.
Raaka, directed by Atlee and produced by Sun Pictures, is expected to release in 2027. The film also stars Allu Arjun and has been making headlines with its intense action sequences and striking visuals.
