Tamil ‘superstar’ Rajinikanth’s next venture — produced by his son-in-law and actor Dhanush’s Wunderbar Films Pvt. LTD. — has been titled Kaala Karikalan.  The film is touted to be the sequel of Rajinikanth’s 2016 gangster movie Kabali, a release said.  And Kabali director Pa Ranjith is returning to helm it.

Without much ado, you should know that Rajinikanth features in his signature Kabali like persona – the only difference being that his background features a 360 degree view of a slum. In one of the posters, Rajinikanth features a fierce expression – the kind only he can pull off. On Twitter, the Thalaivar’s first looks from Kaala are already being compared to his 1995 film Baasha and of course, gangster drama Kabali. “More ruthless, more attitude, more Rajinikanth,” highlighted a fan. All we can say is, true that! While much about the film is not known, Dhanush revealed that Rajinikanth stars as Kaala Kaarikalan in the Pa.Rajnith-directed film.

“Kaala has arrived. Pulsating,” wrote a fan while another tweet read “Thalaivar in very own local style, wishes for a huge success. First look rocks.” Some are even sharing the posters with the tag “Neruppuda,” which is a song from Kabali, was made popular during the 2016 film’s release and translates into ‘on fire.’
