Why Shakthi Director Trending On Social Media?

The first look poster of Raaka, the upcoming film starring Allu Arjun and directed by Atlee, has taken social media by surprise. Fans did not expect such a raw and de glamorized animal like look for the Icon Star.

After creating a sensation with a unique look during Pushpa 2 The Rule, Allu Arjun once again tried a bold approach. However, this time the reactions are mixed. While many appreciated the experimentation, some people started discussing the title “Raaka” and its past references.

A section of users pointed out that the name Raaka was earlier used for a villain character in Jr NTR’s Shakthi. That film ended up as a disaster, and the reference quickly turned into a trending topic.

Along with this, director Meher Ramesh also started trending on X, as people revisited discussions around his films. Some even compared the situation to past trolling he faced after his projects.

Fans of Allu Arjun strongly reacted to this trend. They argued that bringing up old flop films is unnecessary and that such comparisons are being done deliberately to create negativity. According to them, Allu Arjun deserves credit for taking risks and trying something new instead of playing safe.

Despite the mixed reactions, one thing is clear: Allu Arjun has once again become a major talking point on social media with Raaka. Surprisingly, it also reminds many of director Meher Ramesh’s past work, drawing immediate attention online.
