His stylish walk, his bouffant hair, his signature dark glasses and his feverish smile – all those are present in Petta’s teaser, Rajinikanth’s upcoming film directed by Karthik Subbaraj. On the occasion of his birthday, the makers of the film released the teaser showcasing the superstar in all his glory. In fact, it appears that he’s back to his old self with the promise of massy dialogues and scene entries looming high in the air.

The background music, by Anirudh Ravichander, is enough to give you goosebumps and while he walks towards his frothing fans, the vibes of a Rajini that fans used to know seems to be creeping back. The story is still hard to predict but we get to see two versions of a Rajini – a young one and an old one. One who sports a handlebar moustache and the other with a salt and pepper beard and brown hair.

Petta is produced by Sun Pictures and is directed by Karthik Subbaraj. The film also stars Bobby Simha, Vijay Sethupathi, Sasikumar, Simran, Trisha, Malayalam actor Manikandan R Achari and Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles.

The album features tracks like ‘Marana Mass’, ‘Ullaallaa’, ‘Ilamai Thirumbudhe’, ‘Madura Petta’, ‘Petta Paraak’, ‘Singaar Singh’, ‘Aaha Kalyanam’, ‘Jithu Theme’, ‘Petta Theme’, ‘Kaali Theme’ and ‘Thappad Maara’.

Petta is expected to hit the screens this Pongal.
