After a series of hiccups and delays, Rajinikanth-starrer Kaala may finally be released on June 7, provided the censor board clears the controversial political drama.
A source in the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) foresees major hurdles for the film as it touches upon several sensitive political issues. “Tamil Nadu is already on the boil. We have to be careful about the content,” the source says.
In the event that it does manage to get cleared, Kaala will have another force to reckon with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Steven Spielberg’s fifth installment in the Jurassic Park franchise is also set to hit silver screens on June 7.
Taking on the massive Jurassic Park franchise is unlikely to be an easy task. Apart from Hindi and English, the film is also being released in Tamil and Telugu.
It remains to be seen whether Rajinikanth chooses to, or is forced to, move his release date once again.
