Petta marks the first collaboration of Rajinikanth and Karthik Subbaraj. At the audio launch of Petta, Rajinikanth said, "Karthik has a very different style of storytelling. He directed this film like a true Rajinikanth fan. Petta is an entertaining throwback to the kind of films I did in 1990s. Karthik has extracted from me the kind of work I used to perform three to four decades ago," reported news agency IANS.
Petta is slated to release during Pongal.
