Kaala is releasing simultaneously in three languages – Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. The movie also has a strong Bollywood presence with actors like Nana Patekar, Pankaj Tripathi and Huma Quereshi playing prominent roles. Kaala is primarily set in the slums of Mumbai, so many Bollywood and Marathi actors are part of the cast.

Kaala is Rajinikanth’s second film with director Pa Ranjith after Kabali. The movie is basically a gangster story based in the Mumbai underworld. It is about a guy from Tirunelveli, who runs away in his childhood to Mumbai to become a powerful don living in the slums. Rajinikanth plays this character, Kaala, who heads the Tamil community in the slums of Dharavi.

Kaala’s supporting cast includes Eeshwari Rao, Anjali Patil, Sayaji Shinde, Sakshi Agarwal, Samuthirakani, Ramesh Thilak and Sampath Raj among others. Cinematographer Murali, editor Sreekar Prasad and Pa Ranjith’s regular composer Santhosh Narayanan form the technical crew.

Rajinikanth’s son-in-law and actor Dhanush is producing Kaala under his banner Wunderbar Films Pvt Ltd. Though the pre-release buzz and bookings were low when compared to other Rajini films, they have all picked up after the initial positive reviews. Shows are all filling fast and the movie is expected to take a record opening at the box office.
