Lal Salaam is Aishwarya Rajinikanth's fourth directorial and sees her return to filmmaking after 3 (2012), Vai Raja Vai (2015), and the documentary Cinema Veeran (2017). The buzz for the film shot up tenfold after it was announced that Rajinikanth would be playing a cameo as a character named Moideen bhai, with his look in the shooting spot stills unveiled so far taking social media by storm. Billed to be a sports drama, Lal Salaam has Rajinikanth appearing in crucial scenes alongside the film's lead stars Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth, who will be seen playing the role of aspiring cricketers. It is to be noted that India's 1983 World Cup-winning captain and legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev too will be seen making an appearance in the film in scenes with Rajinikanth.
Aishwarya Rajinikanth's Lal Salaam will subsequently include songs and a background score composed by Academy Award-winning music director A. R. Rahman, and there is considerable excitement as to what big treats he's going to deliver next. The film also marks the third time 'Superstar' Rajinikanth is appearing in a Lyca Productions venture after 2.0 (2018) and Darbar (2020). It is to be noted that the iconic actor and the hit production house will once again be collaborating on the upcoming Thalaivar 170 to be directed by T. J. Gnanavel of Jai Bhim fame.
