This is a directorial comeback for Aishwarya who made her directorial debut with ‘3’ starring Dhanush and Shruti Hassan.
The poster for Lal Salaam was released Sunday night by Aishwarya, and Lyca Productions. It introduced Rajinikanth as Moideen Bhai with the tagline “Moideen Bhai has arrived” where he’s seen in a beige kurta, red hat and sunglasses. Rajinikanth, however, isn’t playing a lead role in this movie, and he will only be making an extended cameo in the movie. But his portion is said to be entirely shot in Mumbai.
Lal Salaam Cast, Plot
Playing lead roles in the movie will be actors Vishnu Vishal who is known for his lead role in the sports movie Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, and Vikranth who made his debut in the movie Karka Kasadara.
AR Rahman is composing the music for Lal Salaam which was already confirmed last year in December by the singer himself.
The poster also confirmed editing by Pravin Baaskar and cinematography by Vishu Rangasamy.
As for the plot of the movie, there isn’t much out but it will reportedly be based on cricket and communism.
There is no official release date for Lal Salaam as yet but it is slated to get a theatrical release later this year.
With the poster out we’re expecting to get more details about the movie soon.
After actor Vishnu Vishal, Superstar Rajinikanth has also reached Mumbai for the second schedule of Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s ‘Lal Salaam’, which also has Vikranth.
With the star actor, who is playing an important role in the film joining the team, the makers have now revealed his name and his look from the film.
Rajinikanth is playing Moideen Bhai in the film and is seen wearing a red kufi cap and knee long coat called jubba. Revealing his name and the first look poster, the makers posted, “Everyone’s favourite BHAI is back in Mumbai 📍 Make way for #Thalaivar 😎 SuperStar 🌟 #Rajinikanth as #MoideenBhai in #LalSalaam 🫡 இன்று முதல் #மொய்தீன்பாய் ஆட்டம் ஆரம்பம்…! 💥”
Interestingly, Rajinikanth rarely played a Muslim character on screen, and his most memorable one is that of Maanik Baasha, in the 1995 superhit film ‘Baasha‘, in which he assumes his Muslim friend’s name after his murder.
‘Lal Salaam’ is said to be a cricket-based drama, with Vishnu Vishal playing a cricketer in the film.
Jeevitha Rajashekar is also playing a crucial role in ‘Lal Salaam’ to make her comeback as an actress after 33 years, and she is said to be playing Rajinikanth’s sister in the film.
AR Rahman is scoring the music for the film, which is expected to be released simultaneously in multiple languages in 2023.
