Superstar Rajinikanth is all set for his next film Kaala which is hitting the screens on June 7th. With the ongoing Cauvery water row between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, the Karnataka Film Association decided to stall the film’s release after the distributors voluntarily decided not to screen the film in the state.

Rajinikanth has been left in shock with the decision saying that he is unaware of the ban of Kaala in Karnataka. “I don’t know for what reason they have banned my movie. South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce should intervene in this and ensure a smooth release for the film in Karnataka” said Rajinikanth. Directed by PA Ranjith, Kaala is a gangster drama that will release in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi languages. Wunderbar Films bankrolled the movie.
