According to sources, Kaala might hit the screens during Tamil New Year in April. Directed by Pa Ranjith, who has reunited with Rajinikanth after last year’s Kabali, the film features Thalaivar in the role of a slum lord turned gangster. The film features Rajinikanth fight for the rights of oppressed Tamils in Mumbai. Since film has been mostly shot against the backdrop of Mumbai, the makers have simultaneously shot the film in Hindi. Also starring Nana Patekar as a politician and Pankaj Tripathi as a cop, the film also features Anjali Patil, Huma Qureshi and Samuthirakani in pivotal roles. Rajinikanth’s 2.0, on the other hand, has shaped up very well. Made on a lavish budget, the film is believed to feature over 11,000 computer graphic shots, making it the highest number for an Indian film. A sequel to Enthiran, the film also stars Amy Jackson, Akshay Kumar and Sudhanshu Pandey in key roles.
