Lal Salaam: For daughter Aishwarya's movie, Rajinikanth becomes "everyone's favourite bhai," see picture

 Aishwarya, Rajinikanth's daughter, returns to feature film direction eight years after Vai Raja Vai in Lal Salaam, which features an extended appearance by Rajinikanth.

Hotshot Rajinikanth is set to return on screen with his most recent Lal Salaam. On Sunday, the film's makers released his first look, which reportedly features Rajinikanth in a lengthy cameo. Rajinikanth's little girl, Aishwarya, has coordinated the film.

The first look at the actor playing "Moideen Bhai" from Lal Salaam was shared on Twitter by Lyca Productions, the company that is financing the movie. Lal Salaam stars entertainers Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth in lead jobs. AR Rahman is the composer of the film's music.

The caption read, "Everyone's favorite BHAI is back in Mumbai" and read, "Make way for #Thalaivar  SuperStar  #Rajinikanth as #MoideenBhai in #LalSalaam."

Eight years after Vai Raja Vai, Aishwarya returns to feature film direction. She also shared the first look poster for her actor father, writing, "Moideenbhai...welcome...#lalslaam cannot caption when your heart is racing! #." blessed.” With the 2012 film 3 starring Dhanush, she made her directorial debut.

The last time Rajinikanth was seen was in the 2021 Diwali film Annaatthe. The Nelson-directed action-comedy Jailer is currently in production. Jailer is scheduled to be released on August 10, 2023, with music by Anirudh Ravichander. Lal Salaam, on the other hand, is planning a theatrical release later this year.
