The shoot of actor Rajinikanth’s Darbar is currently underway in Mumbai, and now we hear that Pradeep Kabra, who has worked in some prominent Hindi films like Delhi Belly, Dabangg 2, Rowdy Rathore and Simmba, is a part of the AR Murugadoss-directorial. The actor, who is known for his funny villain acts in Tamil films like Settai and Anjaan, was also a part of Rajinikanth's last film, Kaala, where he played one of Nana Patekar's aides.

Meanwhile, Nayanthara recently joined the sets of the film, which features Rajini in a cop role after 25 years. A leaked picture from the shooting spot, featuring Nivetha Thomas and Yogi Babu, later confirmed the presence of these actors in the film.

It was announced last week that actor Prateik Babbar, known for Bollywood films like Ekk Deewana Tha and Dhobi Ghat, will play the principal antagonist in Darbar. Sacred Games actor Jatin Sarna was also later announced to be part of the cast.

Santosh Sivan is the cinematographer, while Anirudh Ravichander is in charge of the music of the film, which is scheduled to hit the theatres for Pongal, next year.
