Rajinikanth’s Kaala gets U/A certificate from CBFC; 27 April release date likely to be postponed

Superstar Ranjith’s upcoming movie Kaala has been awarded a U/A certificate. Kaala has also received 14 cuts by the Central Board of Film Certification, The News Minute reported. Starring Rajinikanth as a Mumbai slum lord and messiah, Kaala was originally scheduled for 27 April release, but that date is likely to be changed because of the ongoing strike by Tamil film producers over the issue of digital projection fees.
