Superstar
Rajinikanth,
who
has
wrapped
up
his
portions
for
the
much-awaited
magnum
opus,
2.O,
is
busy
canning
his
portions
for
his
subsequent
flick,
Kaala,
under
Pa.
Ranjith's
direction.
The
actor-director
duo
has
teamed
up
once
again
after
the
success
of
Kabali
for
yet
another
gangster-based
flick,
but
this
time
the
film
is
based
out
of
Mumbai.
Rajinikanth
will
once
again
be
seen
playing
his
age
much
similar
to
his
previous
outing,
Kabali,
and
shooting
of
the
movie
is
proceeding
at
a
brisk
pace.
The
movie
is
said
to
be
filled
with
a
lot
of
political
punchlines
and
references
where
Rajini
will
be
seen
as
a
do-gooder
of
his
community.
The
interesting
updates
from
the
sources
are
that
the
team
of
Kaala
has
already
completed
70
percent
of
the
shooting
and
the
complete
wrap-up
is
expected
by
the
end
of
November.
Kabali,
which
was
wrapped
up
at
a
record
time,
considering
the
magnitude
of
the
movie
and
past
schedules
of
Rajini's
movies,
now
has
been
sidelined
by
Kaala
which
will
draw
its
curtains
much
sooner.
Sources
also
confirm
the
fact
that
the
superstar
would
be
mouthing
a
lot
of
fierce
punches
in
Tamil
and
quite
a
handful
of
dialogues
in
Hindi
and
Marathi
too,
to
add
and
spice
up
the
local
flavour.
Also,
the
sentiment
and
emotional
saga
will
not
be
as
deep
as
it
was
in
Kabali
and
the
movie
would
cater
to
the
mass
audience
more,
in
general.
A
recent
scene,
involving
Rajinikanth
attacking
police
officers
with
a
wooden
log
as
part
of
a
scuffle,
was
being
canned
as
per
the
rumours.
Though
the
first
schedule
was
shot
in
the
slums
of
Dharavi,
the
team
decided
not
to
continue
in
the
said
location
for
their
subsequent
schedules,
as
it
was
hectic
for
them
to
manage
the
crowd.
Hence,
the
makers
of
Kaala
then
decide
to
erect
the
set
of
Dharavi
slum
in
EVP
Studio,
which
is
based
in
Chennai.
The
Tamil-Hindi
bilingual
flick
will
also
be
dubbed
in
Telugu
and
the
movie
is
slated
for
April
14,
2018
release,
an
auspicious
occasion
of
Tamil
New
Year.
The
movie
features
Huma
Qureshi,
Pankaj
Tripathi,
Nana
Patekar,
Anjali
Patil
and
Samuthirakani
in
the
lead.
Kabali's
music
director
Santhosh
Narayanan
would
once
again
be
composing
music
for
the
movie
while
Murali
G
would
be
cranking
the
camera.
National
award
winner,
Sreekar
Prasad,
is
handling
the
editing
department,
while
the
project
is
being
bankrolled
by
the
superstar's
son-in-law
himself,
Dhanush,
under
his
Wunderbar
Films.
With
2.O
all
set
to
hit
screens
on
25th
January
2018
and
Kaala
in
April
of
the
same
year,
movie
fans
in
general
and
Rajinikanth
fans,
in
particular,
are
in
for
a
double
bonanza.
