Kaala; Rajinikanth’s next with Pa Ranjith gets a title

The big news that has taken the internet by storm is the title announcement of Rajinikanth’s upcoming movie. The superstar is teaming with Kabali director Pa Ranjith once again. The movie has been titled as Kaala.

Rajinikanth’s son-in-law and actor Dhanush revealed the first look poster along with the title through his Twitter space. The title comes with the tagline Karikalan.

Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films is producing this movie which is the 164th film of superstar Rajinikanth. The title poster features a silhouette of Rajinikanth in the backdrop.

Apparently, Kaala has two meanings; black and the other signifies destiny, fate or death. According to certain reports, Rajinikanth is playing a guy from Tirunelveli, who runs away in his childhood to Mumbai and becomes a powerful don living in the slums of Dharavi. Earlier there were reports that the movie is based on Haji Mastan’s real life but the production house has denied it.

The movie will start rolling on May 28 in Mumbai. Huma Qureshi has been approached to play the female lead though there is still no official confirmation regarding the same. Pa Ranjith’s regular Santhosh Narayanan has been roped in to handle the music department.

Kaala will be dubbed and released in Hindi and Telugu as well. It is being planned to be completed by the end of the year and will hit screens next year only after the release of Shankar’s 2.O.
