Actress Ritika Singh has completed shooting for her special song in Megastar Chiranjeevi and Bobby Kolli’s upcoming film, Kaaka, according to reports. The team has reportedly wrapped up the schedule. The casting choice is interesting. Ritika is not particularly known for glamorous roles. Instead, she has built her career on strong, performance-oriented characters. Seeing her feature in a high-energy dance number in a Chiranjeevi film is certainly a surprise.
A selective actress
Ritika made her mark with Irudhi Suttru (Tamil) and its Hindi remake, Saala Khadoos, in which she played a fiery boxer. A former kickboxer herself, she brought authenticity to the role. The film earned her widespread acclaim and several awards, including the National Film Award – Special Mention for the Tamil version. She subsequently headlined the Telugu film Guru, another remake, and appeared in Shivalinga and Oh My Kadavule, taking on roles with substance. Over the years, Ritika has remained selective about her projects.
In a 2023 interview with Filmfare, when asked whether she still found time for kickboxing, she said that she continued to train under her father, who is also her boxing coach. “My brother also trained in the same field, so we have an academy here where I train in Kalyan. I live there, far from Mumbai, so we have our own school there with a lot of kids,” she added.
Chiranjeevi’s dance legacy
Kaaka marks another big-ticket collaboration between Chiranjeevi and director Bobby Kolli, who previously worked together on Waltair Veerayya. The Megastar has a long history of sharing the dance floor with leading ladies in chartbuster songs. Over the decades, his dance numbers have become celebratory moments for fans, and he has continued the tradition in recent years.
Acharya featured Saana Kastam, in which he danced alongside Regina Cassandra. Waltair Veerayya had Boss Party, featuring Urvashi Rautela, which became a party favourite. Now, Ritika Singh joins that list.
