Raaka, the upcoming sci-fi fantasy epic starring Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee, has entered the Guinness World Records for capturing 37 performers in real-time motion capture during a single session. The feat, celebrated at a felicitation event with the team and Sun Pictures, signals a technologically ambitious film blending large-scale spectacle, innovation and genre-defining storytelling for global audiences.
Raaka, the upcoming film starring Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee, has set a Guinness World Record for the 'Most People Motion-Captured in Real-Time', with 37 performers captured simultaneously in a single session. Atlee and Allu Arjun came together to receive the Guinness World Record certificate at a felicitation event.
The film's production banner, Sun Pictures, shared the achievement on social media, writing, "HISTORY MADE A global triumph that takes Indian cinema to the world stage! #Raaka sets a Guinness World Record for the “Most People Motion-Captured in Real-Time”, with 37 performers captured simultaneously!"
Following the announcement, the makers also released a behind-the-scenes video, with Atlee, Allu Arjun and members of the technical crew explaining how the historic feat came together.
Earlier in the day, Sun Pictures teased the announcement with a preview poster which mentioned the number 37 and a record that "made history." The announcement coincided with the occasion of director Atlee's birthday.
Co-starring Deepika Padukone, and reportedly mounted on a massive scale, Raaka is being positioned as a genre-defining spectacle, blending scale, storytelling, and cinematic innovation. A poster for the film shared earlier this year featured Allu Arjun in an enigmatic look. A creature’s hand, with sharp claws, is caught mid-gesture. A closer glimpse at the poster also reveals a unique skin indentation on Arjun's forehead.
Raaka is said to be a sci-fi drama made with state-of-the-art visual effects. Atlee's other credits include Jawan, Theri, Mersal, and Bigil. Allu Arjun's other upcoming projects include his collaboration with Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj
