Petta movie teaser: Rajinikanth film promises out-and-out fun

The teaser of Petta was released on the occasion of Superstar Rajinikanth's 68th birthday. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, the movie also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Simran and Trisha among others.

Petta teaser does what a teaser is supposed to do: it teases a joyful and rebooted version of Superstar Rajinikanth’s onscreen avatar that we have been in love with for over four decades. The teaser was released on Wednesday to mark Thalaivar’s 68th birthday.

In a way, the teaser pays tribute to the never-dying charisma and boisterous energy that even Rajinikanth’s shadow can bring to the screen. The teaser engages us with its background score and visuals of the Superstar’s slow-motion walk which hint at Petta being an out-and-out Rajinikanth film. Judging from the teaser, the film is not going to discuss politics (Kaala) or toy with big concepts (2.0). It intends to only celebrate a movie-god, who has reigned over the box office since the 80s.
Director Karthik Subbaraj, by his own admission, a die-hard fan of Rajinikanth, brings back the iconic opening credit that has accompanied most of Rajinikanth’s films since the early 90s. He has even got Anirudh Ravichander to give a peppy twist to musician Deva’s evergreen Rajinikanth theme score. The theme song slowly builds up and makes way for Anirudh’s ‘Marana Mass’ song. And at the end of teaser, we also get to see Rajinikanth wearing the sunglasses in his trademark style.
