The latest updates from the Tamil film industry.

Post-production work is on in full swing for superstar Rajinikanth’s Kabali. While there is no official confirmation on a release date, fans are thrilled with rumours that the teaser will be out later this month.

National award-winning editor KL Praveen’s recent tweet that he was busy with the film’s editing seems to have sparked off this rumour.

Directed by Pa Ranjith of Madras fame, Rajinikanth will be seen as an ageing don in the film, while Bollywood actress Radhika Apte will play his wife. The first look poster and other movie stills are already rocking the social media.
