Inside the Raaka Poster look

The title poster features a close-up of Allu Arjun, partially obscured by a furry animal paw with a sharp claw. His intense gaze and shaved head lend an air of mystery, while his rugged look and woollen attire hint at an older, more menacing character.

 

A day earlier, production house Sun Pictures had announced the poster’s release, writing: “Brace for the BlAAst Title Poster – Tomorrow @ 11 AM @alluarjun @Atlee_dir @deepikapadukone #AA22xA6.”
