Will Smith is reportedly being considered for the lead role of the primary antagonist in the upcoming Indian sci-fi action film Raaka. The Hollywood star, who has been linked to the project for nearly a year, is expected to shoot his portions during an overseas schedule. Talks between the film's makers and Will Smith have reportedly continued for over a year, with his availability being a key factor in determining the location of his overseas shoot.
The production team has not yet finalized the destination for Smith's filming, but his costumes have reportedly been finalized. Meanwhile, there are also reports suggesting that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan may join the international shooting schedule after completing his work on his latest film. Raaka is being directed by Atlee and is being developed as a large-scale sci-fi action and fantasy movie, with two interconnected timelines - one set in a tribal Puranic Vedic era and the other in the modern period.
Deepika Padukone and Mrunal Thakur are reportedly cast in the historical and modern-day sections, respectively. The film is currently expected to release in late 2027.
