First-look poster of Tughlaq Durbar

Vijay Sethupathi shared the first-look poster of Tughlaq Durbar on his Twitter account. The poster showed Vijay sitting at a table with a golden bird flying around this head. He is wearing a black and gold shirt in one picture and giving a serious expression. In the supposed reflection on the table, he is sporting a rather worn-out shirt and giving a sinister smile. In the middle of the two pictures is a gold coin bearing the name of the movie, cast, and producers.

Vijay Sethupathi's Tughlaq Durbar is said to be a political thriller. The movie stars Vijay in the lead role while Aditi Rao Hydari, Manjima Mohan, Karunakaran, and Bagavathi Perumal and actor-director R Parthiban will also be seen playing important roles in the movie. The latter shared screen space with Sethupathi in the hit film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan

According to reports, Vijay Sethupathi will play the role of a politician in Tughlaq Durbar. Going by the two different looks of the actor in the poster, it might be a rags-to-riches story that will follow the character's journey to power. However, nothing has been officially mentioned about this. It is also said the movie is definitely a "commercial potboiler".

A statement made by the makers of Tughlaq Durbar claimed that about 50 percent of the shooting has been completed. They are currently waiting for the Tamil Nadu government's permission for films to resume shootings. Till now, the government has only allowed those films who have only their post-production work left.
