The trailer of Rajinikanth's Kaala was released yesterday and it became the toast of Kollywood in a matter of seconds. Here is a quick look at the biggest takeaways from the trailer.
Rajinikanth
eagerly-awaited
Kaala
is
arguably
the
biggest
release
of
the
year.
Touted
to
be
a
gangster-drama,
it
has
created
quite
as
buzz
amongst
fans
thanks
to
its
intense
teaser
and
the
Superstar's
brand
new
avatar.
'Thalaiva'
essays
the
role
of
a
don/gangster
in
Kaala
and
will
be
seen
in
a
'desi'
get-up.
Produced
by
actor-producer
Dhanush,
the
film
marks
the
second
collaboration
between
Rajini
and
Ranjith.
The
two
had
previously
joined
hands
for
the
commercially
successful
Kabali
and
fans
are
bound
to
have
high
expectations
from
Kaala.
Slated
to
hit
screens
on
June
7,
2018,
Kaala
also
features
Bollywood
star
Huma
Qureshi
and
veteran
actor
Nana
Patekar
in
the
lead.
Huma
plays
Rajini's
lover
while
the
Bommalattam
actor
essays
the
role
of
a
powerful
politician.
On
Monday(May
28,
2018),
the
makers
of
Kaala
released
its
official
trailer
and
made
the
wait
for
it
even
more
difficult.
The
nearly
90-second-long
trailer
clicked
with
fans,
and
went
viral
in
no
time.
Everything
about
the
trailer
is
perfect
and
indicates
that
Kaala
will
be
a
treat
for
all
and
sundry.
Here
is
a
quick
look
at
the
biggest
takeaways
from
the
Kaala
trailer.
Kaala
Has
Strong
Social
And
Political
Undertones
Unlike
some
of
Rajini's
previous
films,
Kaala
is
not
going
to
be
a
mere
commercial
entertainer.
The
trailer
suggests,
that
it
will
touch
upon
how
the
oppressed
need
to
unite
in
order
to
bring
down
those
who
are
mighty
and
corrupt.
The
film
will
also
highlight
how
some
communities
treat
their
land
as
an
integral
part
of
their
very
identity
and
not
a
mere
resource.
Nana
Patekar
Will
Be
A
Scene
Stealer
Bollywood
star
Nana
Patekar
plays
the
villain
in
Kaala.
And,
if
the
trailer
is
anything
to
go
by,
he
has
a
pretty
meaty
role
in
the
film.
He
plays
the
role
of
an
influential
politician
and
he
seems
to
have
done
justice
to
the
character.
His
cold
and
calculated
body
language
establishes
him
as
the
perfect
foil
to
the
caring
and
lively
Kaala.
Kaala
May
Remind
Fans
Of
A
Bygone
Era
Judging
by
the
trailer,
Kaala's
love
life
will
be
an
integral
part
of
the
film
and
Rajini
will
get
the
opportunity
to
channel
his
inner
'lover
boy' once
again.
The
superstar's
lively
chemistry
with
his
on-screen
leading
ladies
(Huma
and
Eeshwari
Rao)is
bound
to
be
add
a
new
dimension
to
the
narrative.
Back
in
the
day,
Rajini
was
quite
popular
for
his
jovial
brand
of
romance
and
Kaala
could
serve
as
a
good
throwback
to
the
era
gone
by.
Kaala
Is
No
Kabali
Contrary
to
earlier
speculation,
Kaala
does
not
seem
to
be
similar
to
Kabali.
In
Kabali,
Rajini
played
the
role
of
an
ageing
don
who
is
haunted
by
the
'loss' of
his
family
as
he
tries
to
rebuild
his
life.
However,
in
Kaala
he
plays
the
role
of
a
happy
family
man
who
fights
for
the
rights
of
his
people.
As
such,
the
stakes
in
Kaala
are
a
lot
higher.
Kaala
Features
Realistic
Action
Scenes
The
Kaala
trailer
suggests
that
the
film
will
feature
several
action
sequences.
However,
the
fight
scenes
are
unlikely
OTT
and
cartoonish.
On
the
contrary,
one
can
expect
them
to
be
quite
realistic
and
intense.
