Deepika Padukone’s upcoming film Raaka with Allu Arjun will reportedly use a body double for most action sequences due to her second pregnancy. Directed by Atlee, the team has planned VFX integration for key scenes, while the actress has already shot close-ups. Her role remains unchanged as a key protagonist.

Actress Deepika Padukone will next be seen in Raaka alongside Allu Arjun, directed by Atlee, marking her first project after welcoming daughter Dua Padukone Singh on September 8, 2024. She reportedly still has around 50 days of shoot left. However, fresh reports suggest that due to her second pregnancy, a body double may be used for most of the intense action sequences for safety reasons.

Most of the key action sequences featuring Deepika Padukone will now be done using her body double. The actress has already given some close up sequences and the same will be merged using VFX for the final print."
