Mammootty not a part of Rajinikanth’s Kaala
For the past few days, there have been several reports about Mammootty playing a pivotal role in superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming movie Kaala. It was first reported by a national media and it soon spread like wild fire.
The first look poster of Kaala had Rajinikanth sitting on top of a jeep that had the number plate BR 1956. Interestingly, ‘BR’ symbolises the legendary social reformer Dr BR Ambedkar and the year he passed away. Following that there were speculations about the movie featuring some aspects about Ambedkar’s life. Since, Mammootty had earlier played the role of Ambedkar in his biopic, it was reported that the megastar will be appearing in Kaala as Ambedkar.
However, sources close to Mammootty have dismissed these reports as baseless. He is currently busy working on multiple projects. After having completed the first schedule of Ajai Vasudev’s Masterpiece, he will be joining the sets of noted ad filmmaker Sharrath Sandith’s debut directorial. So the rumours can now be put to rest. Rajinikanth and Mammootty last shared screen space in Mani Ratnam’s cult classic blockbuster Thalapathy.
Meanwhile, the shoot for Kaala is progressing at a brisk pace in Mumbai. The movie, directed by Kabali director Pa Ranjith is a gangster drama set in the backdrop of Mumbai city. Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi has been roped in to play the female lead. Nana Patekar, Samuthirakani, Anjali Patil, Sukanya and Sampath Raj.
