Kaala: Rajinikanth flick gets U/A certificate

Sources close to the filmmakers say that the film has been censored with 14 cuts. Last month, a teaser was released, featuring veteran actor Nana Patekar asking what kind of a name 'Kaala' is, with a voiceover in the next scene saying it means not only the colour black but also someone who fights and defends.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming flick 'Kaala', which is a trilingual movie, has been awarded a U/A certificate and is all set to hit the screens on April 27.

Sources close to the filmmakers say that the film has been censored with 14 cuts.

Last month, a teaser was released, featuring veteran actor Nana Patekar asking what kind of a name 'Kaala' is, with a voiceover in the next scene saying it means not only the colour black but also someone who fights and defends.

Later, Rajinikanth himself is shown explaining that black is the colour of hard work. The actor is seen speaking in Tirunelveli slang of the Tamil language.

Pa Ranjith is the director of the film, his second association with Rajinikanth after their 2016 gangster flick 'Kabali'. Actor Dhanush, also Rajinikant's son-in-law, has produced the movie under his banner Wunderbar Films Pvt Ltd.

The movie will be released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. Besides Rajinikanth and Patekar, the movie also features Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi, actor-director Samudrakani, Eswari Rao and a host of others.

Ranjith's favourite musician, Santosh Narayanan, has once again teamed up with the filmmaker to compose the musical score for the film.
