If at all India's top director Shankar is onboard, he claims lion's share in the success credit of the film. If it is a Shankar and Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth's combo film, both may share the success credit jointly in addition to giving due honour to all other cast and crew.
Shankar and Rajini's Robo success was also equally attributed to the duo. Having gone through the updates and the combinations, it is being envisaged that Rajini will have least impact on success of his forthcoming film 2.0. Unlike Robo, 2.0, has another villain Akshay Kumar, who is gossiped to have played a very crucial role in 2.0 which might dominate Superstar. Besides, an extensive graphics work for more than a a half year has been planned. As such, VFX in the film may dominate Rajini.
Since fans wished a mass entertainer to score a blockbuster which depends merely Rajini's heroism to prove the hero's stamina, Rajini gave nod to work for Kaala and is currently ensuring the film get its shoot completed at the earliest.
According to the reports, Kaala will get its shoot wrapped up by September and maybe released this year end. Thus, the wish of fans maybe fulfilled. In fact, it's a right strategy for Rajini.
