Will Smith could be heading into unfamiliar territory. The Hollywood star is reportedly being considered for a major role in Atlee’s upcoming sci-fi film Raaka, potentially putting him opposite Allu Arjun in what could become one of the most unexpected international casting combinations in Indian cinema.

According to reports, Smith is not being lined up for a brief cameo. Instead, discussions have centred on him playing one of the film’s main villains. If confirmed, the role would mark Smith’s Indian film debut and give an already ambitious project an even bigger international profile.
