Deepika Padukone is expected to complete Raaka’s first shooting schedule before beginning maternity leave in September, according to a Mid-Day report cited by ABP Live. She may return around her birthday in January 2027 to film pending scenes and handle promotional work. The production is planned to continue with the remaining cast during her absence. Directed by Atlee, Raaka stars Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone, alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Janhvi Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur. The film is being developed as a two-part franchise, with both instalments currently expected to release in 2027. Deepika announced her second pregnancy in April this year.
The loudest claims will likely frame either a maternity break as a production crisis or the studio’s plan as proof that nothing can go wrong. Neither is established here. The schedule is based on reports, not a confirmed release guarantee, and film productions often change. The useful test is whether Raaka’s two planned 2027 releases retain official dates after Deepika’s return.
