Kaala Verdict: Disaster

Superstar Rajinikanth preferred to work without breaks and right after the wrap of 2.0’s shoot , the actor stepped in to work for his next film Kaala. Based in Mumbai, Rajinikanth will be seen as a gangster and the film is directed by PA Ranjith. The film’s regular shoot started in Mumbai on May 28th and it continued till today. The Mumbai schedule has been wrapped up and Rajinikanth will take a small break before which he will start the next schedule.

Superstar will meet his fans once again after which the next schedule of Kaala will start in a specially erected set in Chennai. Most of the film’s shoot will take place in this set which will reprise the Dharavi slum, Mumbai. Huma Qureshi, Dhanush, Samuthirakani will be seen in other prominent roles in Kaala which is made on a massive budget. Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films is producing the movie which will release during summer next year.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s jeep from his upcoming Tamil film “Kaala”, being directed by Pa. Ranjith, will be given to businessman Anand Mahindra for a planned auto museum upon completion of the entire shoot, its producer Dhanush said.

Anand Mahindra, Executive Chairman of Mahindra group, expressed his desire to store the jeep as a collector’s item in his auto museum.

“When the legend Rajinikanth uses a car as a throne, it becomes a legend. Whoever knows the whereabouts of the used car for this shoot, please let us know. I’d like to acquire it for our company auto museum,” Mahindra wrote on his Twitter page.

He also shared one of the posters of the film in which Rajinikanth is seen seated on the jeep, against the backdrop of Dharavi slum.

In response to his tweet, Dhanush wrote: “Thank you so much sir! The vehicle is being used by superstar for shoot currently. Once completed will ensure it reaches you.”

Then Mahindra responded: “Fanatastic. Or maybe I should say – Wunderbar! Appreciate the response Dhanush. Good luck to you and the team.”

“Wunderbar” is a reference to Dhanush’s production banner Wunderbar Films.

When a Twitter user asked Mahindra about the musuem, he said: “It’s being planned. Cars being curated. Will most likely be in Kandivli, Mumbai.”

“Kaala” is currently being shot in Mumbai, and it stars Huma Qureshi as Rajinikanth’s love interest. It also features Anjali Patil, Nana Patekar, Samuthirakani and Sakshi Aggarwal in key roles.

Tamil ‘superstar’ Rajinikanth today left for Mumbai to shoot for his upcoming film ‘Kaala Karikalan’ (Kaala) scheduled to begin tomorrow. The film considered to be a sequel to ‘Kabali,’ which released last year, would be produced by Wunderbar Films promoted by Rajinikanth’s son-in-law and actor Dhanush. “The shooting for Kaala begins tomorrow.. I am leaving for Mumbai.. You are doing your job, please allow me to do my job,” Rajinikanth told reporters before leaving to Mumbai.

The actor also dodged a question on the reported comments made by his brother on his possible entry into politics. Last week, the 67-year-old ‘Kabali’ star met his fans after a gap of eight years and had hinted of taking the political plunge when he asked them to carry on with their daily responsibilities, but “face the war when it comes.”

Pa Ranjith, who had directed ‘Kabali’ would be wielding the megaphone this time too. Ranjith’s favourite musician Santhosh Narayanan is onboard ‘Kaala’ also and the film is being made in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu. The film had earlier courted controversy with the adopted son of Mumbai don late Haji Mastan alleging the plot was based on his father’s life.

The makers had, however, denied it. Recently, Dhanush had released the title and the first look of the movie in social networking sites. Meanwhile, speculations are rife that Rajinikanth might become politically active during the Tamil Nadu state elections, which is due in 2019. Kamal Haasan recently said, “Given the current political scenario in Tamil Nadu, I would say no one should enter politics. Not just Rajinikanth or any other actor. Any rational person will not do that.”
