The released posters dont reveal much as mentioned before, but of course, there is still some meat to be had there. In a poster, Rajini aka Kaali seems to be rocking his 80s look, looking young and striking in his all-white attire and a handlebar mustache.
Vijay Sethupathi
Petta is filmmaker Karthik and actor Vijays second project together. They had previously collaborated together on the acclaimed movie Pizza. At the audio launch of the movie, Vijay had confirmed that he would be playing the bad guy in the movie. In a poster, we see Vijay in a fierce, rugged avatar as Rajinis silhouette approaches him silently. Vijay will be essaying the role of a villain called Jithu in Petta.

Petta is Karthik Subbarajs fifth outing as a director. The filmmaker, known for helming acclaimed movies like Pizza and Jigarthanda, will be directing Rajinikanth for the first time in Petta. Karthik claims to be a Rajini fan and had even revealed at the audio launch of the movie that Thalaiva was the one who had asked him whether he had any scripts for him. Now whether Petta will live up to the hype and expectations of the audience, only time will tell.
The music

Tracks like “Marana Mass,” Petta Theme and “Ullaallaa” are composed keeping in mind the kind of music in Rajinikanths earlier films. And composer Anirudh Ravichander seems to have done a stand-up job.
