The director has assembled a huge star cast for his second directorial outing with the superstar after Kabali, including Bollywood actors Nana Patekar and Huma Qureshi.

As as far as the film’s technical team is concerned, barring editor Sreekar Prasad, Ranjith has retained all the members of his Kabali crew, including music composer Santhosh Narayanan. Ranjith is among the few filmmakers in Tamil who got the opportunity to direct Rajinikanth in his back-to-back films. Last year, Kabali, which showed Rajinikanth in a gangster avatar after a gap of 20 years, was among the top-grossing films in India. Before Kabali, the Thalaivar’s last gangster film was Baasha (1995).

In Tamil, Kaala or Kaalan means Yama, the God of death. And Rajinikanth playing the role of Karikaalan which was the name of a Chola king who known for his wisdom and bravery. Which is why Karikaalan denotes courage and that comes through in the arrogance and swagger that Rajini conveys through his body language. And showing the world of Dharavi behind him is to emphasise that the gangster lords over it.
Samuthirakani, Easwari Rao, Anjali Patil, Sampath, Ravi Kale, Sayaji Shinde, Pankaj Thripathi, Major Bikramjeet, Aruldoss, Akash, Vathikuchi Dileepan, Manikandan , Arundhati, Sakshi Agarwal, Perumal, Sukanya among others are the part of humongous star cast of Kaala movie.
