Actor Nana Patekar will be seen playing the main antagonist in superstar Rajinikanth's upcoming Tamil gangster drama "Kaala", a source said.
"Nana ji plays a conniving, ruthless politician and he takes Rajinikanth head on. It's a very powerful role and audiences are going to love the face-off between him and Rajini sir," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

The project marks the second time collaboration of Ranjith and Rajinikanth after last year's "Kabali".
Dhanush is bankrolling the film, and he is rumoured to be playing a cameo in the film.
