Hyderabad: Superstar Rajinikanth's first look from his forthcoming movie Lal Salaam, directed by his daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth is out. The poster shows Rajinikanth as Moideen Bhai walking in the middle of what is believed to be communal riots in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1993. The poster garnered mixed response from the internet users, with some pointing out that it had to be better.
Sharing the first look of Rajinikanth, daughter Aishwarya took to her Instagram handle and wrote in the caption of her post, "#Moideenbhai …welcome🙏🏼 …#lalslaam cannot caption when your heart is racing ! #blessed." Lyca Productions shared the poster in English and Tamil and called Rajinikanth 'everyone's favourite Bhai'. However, the first look of Rajinikanth as Moideen Bhai failed to receive thumbs up from all. Some people commented on the editing.

Rajinikanth will be seen playing an extended cameo in Lal Salaam. It went on floors earlier this year. The movie was launched with a pooja ceremony on November 5 last year. Sharing photos from the event, Aishwarya wrote on her Twitter page, "When your FATHER trusts in you.. When you believe GOD is by you. MIRACLES happen in true. After 7 long years. The journey begins again with grateful and joyful tears (sic)." The movie stars Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth in lead roles. It will have music scored by AR Rahman. (With agency inputs)
