When Deepika Padukone announced her second pregnancy with Ranveer Singh, the internet did what it always does — it panicked on her behalf. Rumours flew fast: her role in Allu Arjun and Atlee’s much-anticipated **Raaka** would be trimmed. She might be replaced. The film’s plans had changed.

The makers have now officially shut all of that down.

The team clarified to The Times of India: “Everything is moving as planned. Deepika Padukone plays a crucial role in Raaka, and the shoot is unfolding seamlessly with great energy on set.”
