Kaala (lit. Lord of death/dark-skinned one)[clarification needed] is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language Gangster Thriller film written and directed by Pa. Ranjith and produced by Wunderbar Films.

Following the commercial success of director Pa. Ranjith's gangster drama Kabali (2016) starring Rajinikanth, actor-producer Dhanush announced that he had signed the duo to work on a new film for his production house, Wunderbar Films during late August 2016.[3] Refuting reports that the film would be a sequel to Kabali, Dhanush announced that production would begin during mid-2017 following the completion of Rajinikanth's work for Shankar's science fiction film 2.0 (2018). In early May 2017, the producers received an open letter from Sundar Shekar Mishra, the foster son of gangster Haji Mastan, threatening that the makers should not depict his father in negative light and if they did, they would face consequences.[4] In reply, Ranjith denied the film was a biopic of Haji Mastan and clarified that the film was based on fictional events, while revealing that Rajinikanth would play a man from Tirunelveli who escapes to Mumbai as a child and goes on to become a powerful don living in Dharavi slums.[5] The title of the film, Kaala was announced in late May 2017, with promotional posters carrying the film's first look released in Tamil, English, Hindi and Telugu.

Following the announcement of the film, Wunderbar Films sought to cast Vidya Balan in a leading role, but the actress turned down the offer.[7] Actress Huma Qureshi was later added to the cast in early May 2017 to feature in a role opposite Rajinikanth.[8][9] Marathi actress Anjali Patil also announced that she would be playing an important role in the film through a post on her official Twitter account.[10] Several members of the technical crew of Kabali were retained for Kaala, with A. Sreekar Prasad replacing Praveen K. L. as the film's editor during its pre-production stage.[11] Bollywood actor Nana Patekar has been signed to play a politician who is the antagonist.[12][13][14] As said earlier, Huma Qureshi is not paired with Rajinikanth; Easwari Rao is doing that role.[13] Dileepan of Vathikuchi fame is playing as one of the sons of Rajnikanth and Huma Qureshi is playing Zareena, Rajnikanth's ex-girlfriend.[15] It was also revealed that Mammotty (in a cameo appearance) would join Rajinikanth again two decades after their 1991 film Thalapathi.
