Worker tragically dies on the sets of Rajinikanth's Kaala Karikaalan

Mumbai:

Rajinikanth’s highly anticipated ‘2.0’ is yet to release but the actor is yet to release but the superstar has already commenced work on his next, the Pa Ranjith helmed ‘Kaala Krikaalan’.

The film, which has Rajini playing a gangster, however, has started off on a tragic note.

A worker named Michael, apparently stepped on potent electric wires by accident, and was declared dead when the crew rushed him to the hospital, according to a report in News18. Police has commenced an official investigation on the matter.

Earlier, a similar accident had occurred on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming directorial, 'Padmavati'.

Rajini, who'll be locking horns with none other than Akshay Kumar in '2.0', is still basking in the phenomenal success that was 'Kabali', and the fans can barely contain their hysteria surrounding 'Kaala Karikaalan'. The film reunites Rajini with his 'Kabali' director.

Dhanush, who co-owns Wunderbar Films with wife Aishwarya, had taken to Twitter to announce the film in August 2016.

Huma Qureshi has also been roped in as his leading lady in the mammoth venture.
