Nana Patekar plays a politician

Rajinikanth’s Kaala manages to pique the curiosity of people every day. The film, directed by Pa Ranjith and produced by Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films went on floors in Mumbai on May 28. Ever since, several pictures from the shooting spot which were leaked managed to keep the interest of the fans intact.

A couple of weeks ago, it was officially announced that Bollywood actor Nana Patekar is part of the ensemble cast which also includes Eswari Rao, Huma Qureshi, Samuthirakani, Anjali Patil and more. Now, a source close to the team reveals some tidbits about Nana Patekar’s role in the film. “He will be seen as a politician who pushes the people of Dharavi to vacate their lands for commercial purposes. Rajinikanth who plays Kaala, an aged gangster stands up for the rights of people,” the source says.

Meanwhile, it has now been confirmed that Huma Qureshi is not playing Rajinikanth’s pair in the movie. “Actress Easwari Rao is Rajinikanth’s pair and it is not Huma (Zareena in Kaala) as speculated,” the source shares.  
Kaala has music scored by Santhosh Narayanan while G Murali and Sreekar Prasad take care of cinematography and editing respectively.
