About Lal Salaam Movie:
Lal Salaam is a Tamil sports drama film directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth and produced by Subaskaran Allirajah under Lyca Productions. The film stars Rajinikanth in an extended cameo appearance, while Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth play the lead roles, along with an ensemble supporting cast including Vignesh, Livingston, Senthil, Jeevitha, K. S. Ravikumar and Thambi Ramaiah.
In October 2022, Aishwarya Rajinikanth was rumored to direct a movie starring Atharvaa in the lead role and Rajinikanth in a special appearance. However, in November, Aishwarya, via social media, announced her next directional film titled Lal Salaam.
The principal photography commenced on 7 March 2023 in Chennai, while a muhurat puja was held in December 2022. The principal photography wrapped up by 7 August.
The theatrical teaser of the movie was released on 12 November 2023, on the occasion of Diwali. On the occasion of Rajinikanth’s birthday on 12 December 2023, a promo highlighting his character of Moideen Bhai was released.
Initially, the film was scheduled for theatrical release on 12 January 2024, coinciding with Pongal. However, in a turn of events, the production house announced that the film would instead release on 9 February 2024 to account for the delay in post-production work and the release of Mission: Chapter 1 (2024). Lal Salaam received positive reviews from audience and critics.
The satellite rights were sold to Sun TV and Netflix.
