The makers of Rajinikanth's upcoming movie Lal Salaam unveiled a first look poster of the actor at midnight, and revealed that Rajini will be playing a Muslim character named 'Moideen Bhai'. Lal Salaam, a movie painted with communism and cricket is directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth and stars Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth in the lead. Rajinikanth's character is more of an extended cameo in his daughter's movie yet fans have been looking forward to it with full gumption. 

However the first look poster of Rajinikanth from Lal Salaam seem to have deeply upset this fan-base, for the poster came with shoddy design work, which has now become a troll point. This isn't the first time for a Lyca Productions' poster design to become troll material; Previously the banner's Ponniyin Selvan: I poster featuring lead actor Vikram had drawn equally negative attention.

@ash_rajinikanth poster is all fine coz taste differs from a person to person. But where is even our Thalaivar’s name in it? This is totally not acceptable. Kindly concentrate on the upcoming posters. I hope you be more cautious next time. #LalSalaam pic.twitter.com/rg4tsDHOqx

That's how #LalSalaam poster should have been🔥I liked the poster for Thalaivar but lots of negative feedbacks from yesterday for it not being impressive and professional. Hope @LycaProductions @ash_rajinikanth takes kind note of it and deliver superior quality stuffs🙏 https://t.co/0hT94iamGZ

The only concern is that i bet this look is not done with a photoshoot. If watch closely they have photoshoped the beard,coolers,cap. Its like cutting and pasting the face in a stock image. Look at thalaivar expression its off guard. If editing was done right its a raw look🔥🔥

After seeing #LalSalaam Rajinikanth poster directed by his daughter Aishwarya, feeling proud of Sushmita Konidela. At the very least, we only have to bear terrible clothing in few scenes.

That #MoideenBhai poster is a disappointment...

Innum care and finesse irundhurkalaam. Porumaiyaave reveal pannirkalaam, probably with an actual still from the film or something

Not a big fan of judging a film by its poster, but yeah... #Rajinikanth deserved better#LalSalaam

The look isn't appealing, yes but lowkey feel his character in the film is gonna be fresh and probably one of the better roles he has ever played. https://t.co/w5mIJxRQgW
