Allu Arjun and Atlee's Raaka sets Guinness World Record

CHENNAI: Actor Allu Arjun’s upcoming film Raaka has set a Guinness World Record for the largest number of people filmed simultaneously using live motion-capture technology.

On the occasion of director Atlee’s birthday on Monday (September 21), the film crew shared a scene from the film that was filmed with 37 actors simultaneously using live motion-capture technology, setting a Guinness World Record.

Sun Pictures, the film’s production house, announced the achievement in a post on X, saying, “A global triumph in motion capture! #Raaka sets a Guinness World Record for the ‘Most People Motion-Captured in Real-Time’, with 37 performers captured simultaneously.”

Raaka likely to release next year

Directed by Atlee Kumar and produced by Sun Pictures, Raaka stars Allu Arjun in what is reportedly a triple role. A recent behind-the-scenes glimpse of their international pre-production work was released.

The grand pan-India project is expected to fall in the sci-fi genre.

The film’s theme song has been composed by Sai Abhyankkar and has received a positive response from fans since its release.

Deepika Padukone will headline the film alongside Allu Arjun, while Rashmika Mandanna is reportedly set to appear in a significant role. Earlier referred to as AA22XA6, the project also stars Mrunal Thakur, Janhvi Kapoor and Aishwarya Lekshmi.

Raaka is expected to release in December 2027.
