> Bollywood filmmaker and actor Anurag Kashyap has joined Chiranjeevi and director Bobby Kolli's action entertainer Kaaka in a key role, as the film heads for a Sankranti release on January 13, 2027.

Megastar Chiranjeevi's Kaaka has added a big name from Bollywood. Filmmaker and actor Anurag Kashyap has joined the action entertainer in a key role, and the makers have made it official. Director Bobby Kolli announced the news on X. He said the team picked Kashyap for a powerful role that will add an intense layer to the film.

With the news, the team shared a behind-the-scenes photo. It shows Bobby explaining a scene to Kashyap, who listens closely. Filming is now going on in Hyderabad, and Kashyap is shooting with other lead cast members.

Reports say the unit is now filming high-octane action scenes for the second half, and the first half is said to be locked already. This is Chiranjeevi and Bobby's second film together after Waltair Veerayya, so hopes are already high. The title glimpse, released on the star's birthday, got a strong response. Chiranjeevi will reportedly play a character named Kadiri Kalidas. The makers have reportedly promised to show him in powerful shades fans have not seen before, with his comedy timing and screen presence as key attractions.

Anaswara Rajan also plays a key role. Her first look, reportedly released on her birthday, called her the "Heart of Kaaka" and revealed her character's name as Ammulu Paapa. Venkat K Narayana is producing the film under the KVN Productions banner. S Thaman is scoring the music, Vijay Kartik Kannan is the cinematographer, Antony L Ruben is editing and Avinash Kolla is handling production design. Kona Venkat and K Chakravarthy Reddy have written the screenplay, Hari Mohana Krishna and Vineeth Potluri are on the writing team, and Bhanu-Nandu are writing the dialogues.

Kaaka is set for a worldwide release on January 13, 2027, during Sankranti. The team reportedly plans to start promotions on a big scale as soon as filming ends.
