Allu Arjun and director Atlee’s much-awaited film Raaka has achieved a Guinness World Records milestone for the “Most People Motion-Captured in Real-Time.” The achievement was announced by production house Sun Pictures on Monday, adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming project.
The announcement was made on a special day as it coincided with director Atlee’s birthday, giving fans another reason to celebrate the film.
Raaka Sets New Motion-Capture Benchmark
The record highlights the scale of the film’s visual effects and motion-capture work. According to the announcement, the production team successfully recorded the movements of 37 actors simultaneously in real time.

By recording 37 actors at the same time, the Raaka team surpassed the previous benchmark and established a new milestone for the production.
