Velaikkaran Official First Look Poster - Sivakarthikeyan | Nayanthara | Mohan Raja | Anirudh

Actor Sivakarthikeyan‏’s Velaikkaran Movie First Look Poster. The first look poster of Sivakarthikeyan's Velaikkaran has been released on Monday. The actor himself shared it on Twitter.

"Here's our #VelaikkaranFL Need ur blessings and support," Sivakarthikeyan captioned the picture. The actor will be see wearing a formal dress and holding a machete in his hand. Also, the picture gives two sides of a place - city and slum. The look has garnered good response from the viewers. 

Velaikkaran marks the first union of director Mohan Raja-- who is returning after his superhit Thani Oruvan-- with Sivakarthikeyan. Nayanthara will be seen romancing the actor for the first time in the movie.

Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil plays an important role in Velaikkaran, while Prakash Raj, Sneha, Thambi Ramaiah, RJ Balaji are part of the cast. The movie has Anirudh Ravichander's music, Ramji's cinematography and Vivek Harshan's editing. 

The shooting of Velaikkaran started in November 2016. The Tamil flick, which was initially planned to be released in August, is now rescheduled for a September release.

Sivakarthikeyan's previous movie Remo was in the media spotlight from the day it was launched till it hit the screens. The makers had promoted the flick big time. However, his latest movie Velaikkaran has kept a low-profile so far.

The poster of Velaikkaran shows the two sides of a city suggesting that the film deals with the age-old conflict between the haves and the have-nots. While one section of people lives in slums and extreme poverty, on the other side are swanky buildings, fancy cars and factories that indicate a software industry boom and industrialisation.

The film is expected to show Siva in a different avatar, who has so far thrived either on comedy or romance. The film deals with a serious social issue and has a message. The shooting took place in Mumbai, Pune and Malaysia and is fast nearing completion.

The first look of the film was earlier expected to release on May 1 coinciding with the International Workers’ Day. However, the release was delayed along with the release of the film. The Sivakarthikeyan-starrer was scheduled to hit the screens in August. Now it has been slated for September 29 release targeting the Puja holidays.

Velaikkaran marks the maiden association between Sivakarthikeyan and Mohan Raja. The actor-director duo has been basking on the success of their previous outings. While Thani Oruvan became one of the highest-grossing films in Tamil in 2015, Sivakarthikeyan’s Remo last year took the box office by storm, putting its lead actor in the league of big boys of Tamil cinema. It is also for the first time, Sivakarthikeyan will be seen romancing ‘Lady Superstar’ Nayanthara in the film.
