Rajinikanth’s next with Karthik Subbaraj, Petta, is a hugely hyped film. The recent title announcement was celebrated widely in social medias. Shoot for the movie is currently progressing in Lucknow. A couple of location stills of Rajinikanth have gone viral in social medias. In the photos, the actor is seen sporting a bearded look, like the one that is seen in the first look poster.

Petta has an incredible star cast, probably the biggest in Tamil cinema in recent years. Vijay Sethupathi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Bobby Simha, Simran, Trisha and Megha Akash are playing major roles alongside Rajinikanth. Guru Somasundaram, Munishkanth Ramdoss, Sanath Reddy, Deepak Paramesh, Manikandan Achari and ‘Aadukalam’ Naren are also part of the supporting cast.

Reportedly, the movie has Rajinikanth playing the role of a teacher in a Christian seminary . He has a lesser known dark past and that is crux of the movie. Vijay Sethupathi is said to be playing the antagonist in the movie. 70% of shoot has already been completed and the makers are planning to wrap up by the end of this year.

The movie’s technical crew includes National award winning cinematographer Tirru, composer Anirudh, editor Vivek Harshan and action choreographer Peter Hein. Kalanithi Maran is producing movie under the banner of Sun Pictures.
