'Lal Salaam' to feature superstar Rajinikanth in special cameo role
What's the story
Lyca Productions on Saturday took to Twitter to announce its next project titled Lal Salaam. Starring Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth Santhosh in the lead, the movie will be directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth, while her father, superstar Rajinikanth, will have a special cameo role. The makers also confirmed that the film would have music by AR Rahman. Read on to know more about Lal Salaam.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Aishwarya made her directorial debut with the critically acclaimed 2012 film 3, led by her former husband Dhanush. She later directed another venture titled Vai Raja Vai (2015), which could not make a mark. Interestingly, her third directorial, Lal Salaam, will mark her maiden collaboration with her superstar father Rajinikanth. With a power-packed ensemble of cast and crew, this project is an exciting venture.
Announcement
Makers also shared a poster along with the announcement
Announcing the movie, Lyca Productions also shared its first poster on Saturday, which features a cricket helmet on fire against the background of what looks like a burning city. We also see a red ball, stumps, and gloves.
