There’s been a feverish excitement for Rajinikanth’s film Kaala, directed by his Kabali director Pa Ranjith. And while this year’s celebrations were low key compared to most of his other films, Rajinikanth’s brand new is still celebrated with paal abhishekams, a massive cake, drums, dancing, and all that revelry!
