After 7 long years..the journey begins again with grateful and joyful tears #lalsalaam #daytoberemembered." Check the tweet below.

While actor Rajinikanth will play a cameo role in Lal Salaam, actors Vikranth and Vishnu Vishal will play the main lead. The details about the movie are still under wraps, but it is rumoured that this film is set against communism and cricket. For those unversed, Rajinikanth's part in the film will be completely shot in Mumbai. The music in the film will be composed by AP Rahman.
