Kabali Poster

Kaala First Look: Kaala will mostly be filmed in Chennai and will have music composed by Santhosh Narayanan. Kaala marks yet another collaboration between Rajinikanth and Pa.Ranjith after Kabali

Rajinikanth's publicist tweeted that the actor "requests fans not to celebrate his birthday and avoid keeping banners and posters"

In Chennai, fans set off firecrackers, gave out sweets and poured milk over giant posters advertising the movie, a tradition that derives from the ritual bathing of Hindu idols in milk

Kabali stars Rajinikanth as a Malaysia-based mafia boss and he plays both the younger and older versions of the character. Directed by Pa Ranjith, the film also stars Radhika Apte and Hong Kong actor Winston Chao

"I respect Rajinikanthji, as a human and as an actor, and what I said about the poster was a joke. I want to clarify that the poster which I talked about was made by one of his fan clubs," said Irrfan

"Even I didn't know that. We are small filmmakers, I saw that Rajinikanthji's film stole the poster of our film. You see his film's poster and see our film's poster. No big deal about it. Watch his film and watch our film, too," says Irrfan

One poster features Rajini sir sitting on a couch, suave in a grey suit. The other shows a larger than life actor single-handedly fighting a bunch of goons with a chain. The salt and pepper hair and thick white beard is common to both. Directed by Pa Ranjith, Kabali is loosely based on the real life of a Chennai mafia don
