Not Mammootty, it’s Bollywood actor Nana Patekar in Rajinikanth’s Kaala

We had earlier confirmed that Mammootty is not a part of superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming movie Kaala. Sources close to the megastar had dismissed the reports as some wild imaginations by the medias.

But according to trustworthy reports, another leading actor from the country will be seen in a pivotal role in the movie. Three time National award winner Nana Patekar is playing the antagonist in Kaala. He will be seen in the role of a cunning politician who works against the interest of Tamils in Mumbai, who are headed by Rajinikanth’s Kaala.

Shoot for the movie 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.
