Kaala marks the second union between Rajinikanth and Ranjith after Kabali. The film's teaser trailer, which was launched in March took the internet by storm as it became a rage among Tamil cinema fans.

The upcoming film also has a stellar cast, which includes the likes of Marathi great Nana Patekar, Bollywood actor Huma Qureshi among others.
