Directed by Pa Ranjith, Kaala sees Rajinikanth play a don in the streets of Mumbai. The film has a huge star cast comprising Nana Patekar, Pankaj Tripathi, Huma Qureshi and Easwari Rao among others. Rajini’s second collaboration with Pa Ranjith Kaala will hit the screens on June 7. The film was earlier scheduled to release on April 27, locking horns with the Hollywood biggie Avengers: Infinity War. However, due to the strike of the Tamil Film Producer Council, the release has now been pushed to June 7.

During the 48-day TFPC strike, no production or post-production work was allowed. However, obtaining special permission, Kaala was sent for censor clearance. The film obtained a U/A certificate, allegedly with 14 cuts. “We at Tamil Film Producer Council are really thankful to Wunderbar Films, Dhanush, Superstar Rajinikanth and Lyca Productions for being so much support over holding the release of Kaala,” Vishal had said earlier.
