Aishwarya Rajinikanth directed Lal Salaam after an eight-year break. The film chronicles the characters played by Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth, who are seen as rivals since they were kids. In the first half of Lal Salaam, the film takes shape in their village, its people and the rivalry that develops between the Hindus and Muslims there. Rajinikanth stars in the role of Moideen Bhai in the film. Jeevitha Rajashekar plays Moideen’s sister and Nirosha plays his wife.
Lal Salaam also boasts a cameo appearance from cricketer Kapil Dev. Vikranth, Senthil, Thambi Ramaiah, Ananthika Sanilkumar, Vivek Prasanna, and Thangadurai also star in the film.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film reads, “Rajinikanth essays beautifully the dual role of a father, who has aspirations for his son, and a community leader, who believes that all people are one irrespective of religion or caste. He is measured in his actions and even the fight scenes are not over-the-top. Rajinikanth is the backbone of Lal Salaam.”
