Watch the audio preview of Rajinikanth’s Kaala here

As we had reported earlier, superstar Rajinikanth’s Kaala will hit screens worldwide on June 7. The movie was initially slated for an April 27 release, but the two-month long TFPC strike meant that movies scheduled for summer releases had to be pushed further. As the release date is nearing, Kaala’s promotions have kick-started. The movie’s audio launch has been scheduled to be held on May 9 at YMCA Grounds, Chennai.

The makers released a preview of the audio album on Monday in social medias. This 17 minute long video has director Pa Ranjith and composer Santhosh Narayanan briefing about each track and the thought process behind it. The album has a total of 9 tracks namely ‘Kattravai Pattravai’, ‘Poraduvom’, ‘Nikkal Nikkal’, ‘Theruvilakku’, ‘Thanga Sela’, ‘Semma Weightu’, ‘Kannamma’, ‘Kamnamma – Acapella’, ‘Urimayayi Meetpom’.

Kaala marks Rajinikanth’s reunion with Pa Ranjith and Santhosh Narayanan after Kabali. Kaala is basically a commercial gangster flick based in the Mumbai underworld. It is about a guy from Tirunelveli, who runs away in his childhood to Mumbai to become a powerful don living in the slums. Rajinikanth plays this character, Kaala, who heads the Tamil community in the slums of Dharavi.

Kaala has an ensemble supporting cast which includes several noted actors from North India. Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi is playing the female lead, but she is not paired opposite Rajinikanth. Multiple national award winner Nana Patekar is playing the powerful antagonist’s role. Pankaj Tripathi, Eeshwari Rao, Anjali Patil, Sayaji Shinde, Sakshi Agarwal, Samuthirakani, Sukanya, Ramesh Thilak and Sampath Raj are part of the supporting cast.

Rajinikanth’s son-in-law and actor Dhanush is producing Kaala under his banner Wunderbar Films Pvt Ltd.
