Pa Ranjith and Santhosh Narayanan's Twitter live chat

Prior to the release of one of the biggest films of the year, director Pa. Ranjith and music director Santhosh Narayanan have set out to answer a few questions from fans about their film. Kaala will be hitting the screens tomorrow, so Ranjith and SaNa have indulged themselves in a Twitter chat. Here are a few excerpts from the QnA session.

Q: Is Kaala a class film or a mass film?
Santhosh: As a Rajini fan, I felt it was a mass film, and as a Ranjith fan it was a classy film. But I felt there was more mass.
Ranjith: Thalaivar saw the film and felt that Santhosh has done a classy job. The film will be mass!

Q: Please tell us about Kaala's introduction scene and background score.
Santhosh: I am really happy that once again, after Kabali, I got a very long introduction scene. It gave me a lot of space to work on the music. It will be a very interesting scene which will be helpful for the whole movie.
Ranjith: I think everybody will enjoy the introduction scene. It is a very interesting intro.

Q: Why should we watch Kaala?
Ranjith: I think Rajini-ism has been executed very well in Kaala. You all must have seen his style, but in this film, you will see his realistic performance. Along with that, we have spoken about a very important issue in today's world.

Q: How satisfied are you with the output?
Ranjith: There are many layers in Kaala, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it when you watch the film more than once.
Santhosh: When I first saw Kaala, I felt like watching it again. It is that kind of a mass film which you will want to watch many times.

Q: Is Rajinikanth a director friendly actor?
Ranjith: Rajini sir respects every director the same way he respected Balachander sir when he first introduced him. Once the script is locked, he doesn't interfere at all and gives complete freedom.

Q: How is Thalaivar's performance in the film?
Santhosh: As a Rajini fan, when I saw the film, I felt that this is one of his best performances in his career. He also has a formidable villain in the form of Nana Patekar and they have created some raging moments on screen.
