Rajinikanth is set to return to the big screen with Thalaivar 173, now officially titled Dharman. On Wednesday, producer Kamal Haasan unveiled a striking first look at the superstar from the film, sending fans into a frenzy. The film is directed by Ashwath Marimuthu and produced by Kamal Haasan.
Dharman first look
Billed as one of the most highly anticipated collaborations currently in Tamil cinema, the project has generated significant buzz since its announcement. The poster was shared on social media with a caption that translates to, “Dharma will only win.”
In the newly released image, Rajinikanth appears in a striking avatar, dressed in blue surgical scrubs with his trademark swagger, holding a blood-stained scalpel inside what appears to be an operation theatre. The image also shows a lifeless body lying beneath him, introducing his character as “The Deadly Doctor.”
Reacting to the first look, one fan wrote, “DD Doctor Dharman,” while another simply added, “Woaa.” However, some users expressed disappointment with the visual, suspecting it was AI-generated. “Chat gpt????” commented one user, while another asked, “Bro AI?”
