Megastar Chiranjeevi's upcoming action entertainer Kaaka has added a new dimension with acclaimed Bollywood filmmaker Anurag Kashyap joining the cast. Known for his intense storytelling, Kashyap will be seen in a prominent role, marking a rare appearance in a Telugu film. The production team recently shared a behind-the-scenes photo from Hyderabad, capturing Kashyap engaged in a discussion with director Bobby Kolli.

After their successful collaboration on Waltair Veerayya, Chiranjeevi and Bobby Kolli are teaming up once again, aiming to deliver what the makers describe as a 'bloody benchmark' in action cinema. The buzz around Kaaka intensified after the birthday title glimpse, with fans expressing excitement across social media platforms and anticipating a fresh avatar for Chiranjeevi.

The film's shoot is progressing at a brisk pace, with high-octane sequences currently being filmed for the second half. The team has already completed the first half, and S Thaman is working on the background score for these portions. Anaswara Rajan is also set to play a significant role, adding further depth to the ensemble.

Kaaka is scheduled for a grand theatrical release on 13th January 2027, aligning with the Sankranti festival. The makers have assured audiences of Chiranjeevi's trademark style, comic timing, and screen presence, promising his best performance in recent times. Once filming wraps, a major promotional campaign is planned to build anticipation ahead of the festival season.
