‘Petta’ has Vijay Sethupathi as Jithu, who is pitted opposite Rajinikanth’s Kaali. About working with the superstar, the former says it was like an acting class. He is quoted saying, “When doing a negative role against someone as big as Rajini, you need to process things fast. You need to understand what he’s doing and react accordingly. Working with him was like a class in acting.”
‘Petta’ is touted to be an action packed mass entertainer. Rajinikanth is said to be playing the role of a college hostel warden who has a dark past as a don. The storyline is highly exciting and fans are expecting to see a full on ‘thalaivar’ show. With the promising teaser and posters, the pre-release buzz has been amazing.
