Shooting a movie with superstar Rajinikanth takes a toll on the crew because a lot of arrangements had to be made.

And, when they try to do it in Mumbai’s most crowded Dharavi area and the surrounding region, it becomes even more difficult.

Director Pa. Ranjith had a huge theme park sized set erected in Chennai to shoot the film. But, it was hardly satisfactory and had no realism in its initial stages. When it didn’t look authentic, Ranjith was adamant that the shooting should be done in Mumbai. Kaala seems to be on the right track.
