Actress Manchu Lakshmi has visited the sets of Allu Arjun and director Atlee's upcoming pan-Indian film Raaka and described the experience as "just WOW." She said she was stunned by the sets, the creatures, and the number of departments involved, adding that she saw species of animals she had never seen before. Telugucinema.com reports that the film is being mounted on a massive scale and is one of the highest-budgeted Indian movies.
m9.news reports that Manchu Lakshmi's reaction has added to the curiosity around the project, suggesting Atlee is creating a different visual world for the film.

The makers have not yet confirmed reports that Janhvi Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur are also in the cast.
