Dharman has officially gone on floors. A fresh second look poster was dropped on Thursday, showing Rajinikanth in a doctor's uniform with a stethoscope around his neck. The caption reads "Swag is his Signature. Ketta Paiyan Sir. Dharman shoot begins" — a nod to Rajinikanth's iconic line from 1978's Mullum Malarum, where his character Kaali declares himself a bad boy.

Taglined "The Deadly Doctor," Dharman marks Rajinikanth's 173rd film and his reunion with Simran after Petta. Raashii Khanna is also part of the cast. The film is directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, produced by Kamal Haasan under Raaj Kamal Films International alongside R Mahendran, with Anirudh composing the music, Niketh Bommi on cinematography and Pradeep E Ragav editing.
