Allu Arjun's film 'Raaka' has been making waves ever since its announcement. The film's first look was recently released, further heightening public curiosity surrounding the project. However, amidst this excitement, reports surfaced suggesting that Deepika Padukone's role in the film had been reduced. The makers of 'Raaka' have now issued a response addressing these claims.

**Film Team Dismisses Reports as Rumors**
Following Deepika Padukone's announcement of her second pregnancy, rumors began circulating that her role in the film might be scaled down. Now, sources associated with the production of 'Raaka' have categorically dismissed these claims as entirely baseless. The film's team confirmed, "Everything is proceeding exactly as planned. Deepika Padukone is playing a pivotal role in 'Raaka,' and the shooting is progressing smoothly and with full enthusiasm."
**Deepika Returns to Work After Pregnancy Announcement**
Recent media reports also indicated that, despite her second pregnancy, Deepika has no intention of taking a break from work. She has resumed her professional commitments shortly after announcing her pregnancy.
She is set to shoot several action-packed sequences for Allu Arjun's film 'Raaka,' with all necessary safety precautions being strictly observed. Directed by Atlee, the film is currently adhering to its original schedule and is progressing precisely according to the planned timeline.

**Deepika to Star Alongside Shah Rukh**
On the work front, in addition to 'Raaka,' Deepika also has the film 'King' alongside Shah Rukh Khan in her upcoming lineup. This project features a star-studded ensemble cast; alongside Deepika, the roster includes names such as Shah Rukh's daughter Suhana Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Jackie Shroff, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, and Abhishek Bachchan, among others. Deepika was last seen in the film 'Singham Again.' Meanwhile, she was also in the headlines last year following her exit from films such as 'Spirit' and 'Kalki 2.'
