Lal Salaam marks the second occasion Vishnu Vishal is playing an aspiring cricketer after Jeeva (2014) and this time alongside Vikranth. The buzz for the upcoming film shot up after Rajinikanth's casting was announced, while 1983 World Cup-winning captain and legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev will also be seen making a cameo appearance. There are tremendous expectations for Lal Salaam as it also marks the first time that Rajinikanth is working in Aishwarya's direction after previously headlining his younger daughter Soundarya's directorial, Kochadaiiyaan (2014).
The promotional material released for Lal Salaam with Rajinikanth, including a teaser and a glimpse, have added to the excitement as they showed what audiences can expect to witness in theatres next month. The film is also Aishwarya Rajinikanth's big comeback to filmmaking after 3 (2012), Vai Raja Vai (2015), and the documentary Cinema Veeran (2017). Apart from Lal Salaam, Vishnu Vishal has several promising projects in various stages of development starting with Mohandas and Aaryan. He also has in the pipeline sequels like Indru Netru Naalai 2 and FIR 2, including a third-time reunion with hit director Ramkumar after Mundasupatti (2014) and Ratsasan (2018).
