“Rajinikanth sir has also joined the sets. He left to Mumbai last evening from Chennai. This will be a week-long schedule where the makers will shoot some general scenes that require Mumbai as the backdrop,” a source told IANS.

The schedule will take place in Chennai where the makers have built a huge replica of Dharavi slum of Mumbai. “On a budget of nearly Rs 5 crore, a set of Dharavi slum has been recreated for the film. A major portion of the film will be shot here,” the source added.

Rajinikanth is rumoured to be playing a gangster again after “Kabali”. Produced by Dhanush, the film has music by Santhosh Narayanan.

The film is about a guy, who runs away from Tirunelveli in his childhood to Mumbai and becomes a powerful don living in the slums of Dharavi. He is Kaala to those who oppose him, and it is also a reference to his colour.

While Kaala means dark in many languages, it also stands for Yama, the god of death. Rajinikanth will be playing a role of a gangster who brings justice to the wrongdoers in his own style. Karikaalan, meanwhile, was a popular Chola king.

This is Rajini’s 164th film!
