Rajinikanth, Nana Patekar, Pankaj Tripathi bond on the sets of Kaala

Dhanush’s upcoming production, 'Kaala', which features Rajinikanth as the protagonist Karikaalan, a charming Mumbai gangster, and Pankaj Tripathi as a police officer, wrapped up earlier this year in Mumbai and is set to release on June 7 amidst speculation that the film has been pushed ahead again. The film, which has been in the pipeline for the last two years, features an ensemble cast which also includes Huma Qureshi who plays Rajini’s love interest Zareena and Nana Patekar as Harinath Desai, a local politician.

The Tamil action-drama which is based on the land mafia, directed by Pa Ranjith, which will release in Hindi as a dubbed version, was filmed extensively between September and December in Chennai, where Rajini, Pankaj and Nana, who share a few sequences together, had a blast on the set. From sharing food to chatting for long hours, the talented trio left the unit envious with their camaraderie.
