The highly anticipated pan-India sci-fi action film Raaka, starring Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee, has achieved a major milestone even before hitting theatre screens.
Coinciding with filmmaker Atlee’s 40th birthday, the makers officially announced that Raaka has entered the Guinness World Records for the “Most People Motion-Captured in Real-Time”.
A Historic Milestone for Indian Cinema
The record-breaking feat was achieved during a shoot in Mumbai, where 37 performers were motion-captured simultaneously in a single session. This complex technological milestone highlights the massive technical scale and VFX-heavy approach of the project.
Production banner Sun Pictures shared the news on social media, posting photos of Allu Arjun and Atlee proudly receiving the official Guinness World Records certificate.
The production house wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
