Not many directors get the opportunity to work with Superstar Rajinikanth in two consecutive films. But it was director Pa. Ranjith’s talent that has made him sign Thalaivar for his films. The duo has collaborated for the second time with Kaala and the principal shooting began in Mumbai on May 28.
The story is about Karikalan (an aged gangster played by Rajinikanth) who fights for the rights of people living in Dharavi.
After completing a chunk in Mumbai, Rajinikanth took a small break and flew down to Chennai. The actor is now all set to join the shoots in Mumbai yet again. Post this schedule, the shoot of Kaala would continue in the massive sets that are being erected at the EVP Studios in Poonamalle, Chennai, worth upwards of Rs 5 crore.
Unfortunately, a worker, Michael, met with a fatal accident just yesterday on the sets, when he stepped on an electric wire. Even as his co-workers rushed the seriously injured Michael to the nearest hospital, he breathed his last there. According to sources, police officials are currently investigating this issue at the shooting spot.
Kaala boasts an ensemble cast of Rajinikanth, Eswari Rao, Huma Qureshi, Anjali Patil, Samuthirakani, Nana Patekar, Pankaj Tripathi and several others.
