Aishwarya Rajinikanth's Lal Salaam is a sports drama film written and directed by her. The film is Aishwarya's fourth directorial endeavour. The project was unveiled on social media in November last year, with the director revealing that Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth would play the key roles, with the former playing a cricketer.

It was later revealed that Rajinikanth would appear in the film in a cameo role. It was also stated that Kapil Dev would appear in a cameo role playing himself. Rajinikanth and Kapil Dev were spotted filming together in May. The Jailer star even shared a photo with the cricketing legend, calling it a 'pleasure' to work with him.

A Pongal release for the film also implies that it will compete with Mahesh Babu's Guntur Kaaram, which is due to be released on January 12, and Ravi Teja's Eagle, which is set to be released on January 13. Apart from Lal Salaam, Rajinikanth will next be seen in TJ Gnanavel's forthcoming film, tentatively titled Thalaivar 170. Rajinikanth will also appear in Thalaivar 171, which is helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
