While superstar Rajinikanth may not be back in India by time, the team of Kaala will begin shooting in Chennai from July 10th onwards. Director Rajinikanth will film portions related to Samuthirakani and other actors in the movie.

Rajinikanth is expected to join the shoot from July 12th or possibly in the next few days based on his health conditions. Meanwhile, his other movie Endhiran 2.0 was promoted in a huge press meet confirming its massive Rs. 400 crore budget. Kaala is expected to get released before 2.0 as it may be complete filming in time.
