The trailer of Petta showcased Rajinikanth’s entry with him opening two gates in his inimitable style. In his first Tamil film, Apoorva Raagangal in 1975, the superstar had done the same. Director K Balachander had spotted Rajinikanth in a film institute and had decided to cast him in Apoorva Raagangal.
Fan’s Tweet:

In this movie, his entry scene involved pushing the gates dressed in a suit. At that time, his entry in this movie wasn’t applauded. But, time proved that it wasn’t that bad after all. Another similarity in Petta from one of his earlier films is the name Kaali. Rajinikanth used the same name in Mullum Malarum, which is still considered as one of his best mass entertainers with the most punchy dialogues.
