Allu Arjun's upcoming entertainer Raaka directed by Atlee is the cynosure of all eyes. The makers are bracing for the next schedule in Mumbai which will be starting in two weeks time. In this schedule the makers will shoot important scenes on Allu Arjun and Rashmika.

The film stars Deepika Padukone as the female lead and it stars Rashmika Mandanna, Mrunal Thakur and Janhvi Kapoor as the female leads.Now exciting information is coming about Rashmika's role.

Producer Lagadapati Sridhar says "I have no clue about her role in Raaka, but if she is indeed playing a dark-shaded character, it will be a completely new challenge for her," He continued "Audiences have loved Rashmika for her glamorous screen presence and emotionally driven performances. If these reports are true, this role could completely transform her image as an actress."

A source shared "Atlee has designed Rashmika's role with several unexpected twists, making it one of the most intriguing characters in the film. While there has been no official confirmation from the makers, reports suggest that the actress will be seen in a dark, layered role, something she has rarely attempted in her career."

Lagadapati Sridhar says "She has perfected the role of the quintessential wife opposite superstars like Allu Arjun in Pushpa, Ranbir Kapoor in Animal, and Vicky Kaushal in Chhaava. She effortlessly transforms from a glamorous, modern lover into a graceful, saree-clad wife, making even conventional characters look stylish and memorable,"

He added "She is likely to become more selective about Telugu films, choosing only star-driven projects while expanding her presence in Bollywood. With her acting talent, screen presence and dancing abilities, she is capable of giving the leading Hindi actresses tough competition,"

He concluded "Rashmika will join an elite league of actresses who surprised audiences by embracing negative or grey-shaded characters. Kajol in Gupt, Priyanka Chopra in Aitraaz, Vidya Balan in Ishqiya, and Trisha in Kodi are among the notable actresses who successfully explored their darker side on screen. "She will surely be joining an elite club if she pulls it off convincingly,"
