The next major challenge for the film is to shatter the teaser record of Mersal, which has amassed 37 million hits from the single Tamil version alone. It has garnered one million likes and close to a lakh comment.

Kaala teaser has the right mix of commercial ingredients namely action, dialogues and Rajinikanth's style and charm. It had taken 10 hours to cross 2-million mark, which was considered to be slow by Rajinikanth's usual standards.

The Pa Ranjith directorial is set in Mumbai and the superstar plays the role of a good-hearted gangster, who stands up for the oppressed ones.

Samuthirakani, Nana Patekar, Huma Qureshi and others play key roles in the movie. Kaala will hit the screens on April 27.
