Actor Rajinikanth had his last outing in the likes of the mass action drama Annaaththe which hit the screens under the direction of story teller Siruthai Siva with actress Nayanthara in the female lead part. The entertainer did not live up to the expectations of the audience. As a result, it had a tepid response at the box office. The Baashha actor has now put that behind, and is currently busy shooting for his upcoming movie christened Lal Salaam. His daughter Aishwarya has written the script, and is directing the movie. Actors Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth will be depicting lead roles in the film. The drama went on floors with a small pooja ceremony earlier this year. Now, we have an interesting update on the project.
The production house has now unveiled the first look poster of the venture on social media. Director Aishwarya Rajinikanth herself has shared the poster. Taking to her official twitter account, she dropped the first look poster of Lal Salaam, and wrote, “Honored and blessed appa! The entire team of Lal Salaam always needs your blessings!” Here is the post made by the director.
