One of the most anticipated films of this season is Rajinikanth's 'Kaala'. Directed by Pa. Ranjith, the film is slated to release in theaters on June 7th. According to media reports, the film has already earned Rs 230 crores prior to its release through its theatrical and musical rights. The earning is exclusive of collections from <a href="http://www.wionews.com/videos/all-that-you-need-to-know-about-kaala-controversy-in-karnataka-142420">Karnataka region where the film may not release.&nbsp;</a> 
 
According to a report in Andhra box office, the film has collected Rs 70 crore in Tamil Nadu itself.

In Andhra Pradesh and Nizam regions, the film has collected Rs 33 crore, in Kerala Rs 10 crore and the rest of the country Rs 7 crore. The overseas theatrical rights have been sold at Rs 45 crores. The broadcast rights and music rights have brought in Rs 70 crore and Rs 5 crore respectively.

Trade pundits feel the film needs to collect Rs 280 crore gross to be called a blockbuster hit, and this is inclusive of the Telugu and Hindi dubbed versions. If the film manages to release in Karnataka, they would have to earn a gross of Rs 300 crore. 
 
The figures are achievable considering that superstar is a crowd puller and release day of his films are considered as unofficial holidays in many parts of south India.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, 'Kaala' producers Dhanush and his Aishwarya<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-rajini-starrer-kaala-makers-move-karnataka-high-court--142280"> have filed a petition at Karnataka High Court </a>seeking directions to the state government and Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) for the smooth release of the film.

In the plea, Dhanush, who is Rajinikanth’s son-in-law, submitted that it is the fundamental right of the petitioners under the Constitution to exhibit the film.

Rajinikanth's 'Kaala' has already earned Rs 230 crore before its release. Here's how

Rajinikanth’s “Kaala” has now gotten embroiled in a controversy as the film was announced banned yesterday in Karnataka. The decision came as a shock to many and mostly the Thalaiva himself who was taken aback.&nbsp;

The superstar, when asked for the reason behind this ban said he was clueless. Talking to the media while leaving for Tuticorin which is engulfed with violence since several days, Rajinikanth said, “I don’t know the reason for that (film being banned). I only came to know about it yesterday.”

He also added that hoped that the South Indian Film Chamber will step in and take all the necessary steps in the matter and help him release "Kaala"&nbsp;in Karnataka.

For those who are unaware, the movie has been banned in Karnataka after Rajinikanth took a controversial stand which was against the state during the Cauvery issue. During the ongoing Cauvery issue, Rajinikanth had mentioned, “Centre will face Tamil Nadu wrath if it fails to set up CMB (Cauvery Management Board) plunge.” This did not go down well with the people of Karnataka and hence, the Karnataka Film Chambers of Commerce (KFCC) has decided to ban the movie.

The President of the KFCC, G. Parameshwara, mentioned to the media, “As an actor, he always handled issues on Cauvery in a diplomatic way. But when he entered politics and formed a party, he made a direct attack on us, which has not gone down well with Karnataka. It is a question of our prestige and we want to keep our word. We will not allow his film to be released here.”

Rajinikanth's 'Kaala' has been making the right kind of noise ever since the makers released its trailer.
