According to reports, major portions of the film Kabali have been shot in Malaysia and Chennai. Rajinikanth's character is said to be based on a real-life don. The actor has played the character of a don numerous times in his career. This film is said to be slightly different from Rajinikanth;'s usual roles as we will not get to hear the usual punch-laden dialogues that are associated with the actor.

The 30-year-old actress, Apte, chooses her films based on the character and this is not the first time she has signed on a Tamil film. Her first Tamil film was actor Karthi's All in All Azhagu Raja in 2013.
