The first look poster of Rajinikanth’s next film Darbar is out. Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the film’s poster and news on his Twitter handle.

This will be the superstar’s first-time collaboration with the Ghajini director AR Murugadoss.

The film also has Nayanthara in the lead. Rajinikanth has earlier worked with her on films like Chandramukhi, Kuselan and Sivaji (in which she had a cameo)

The superstar will be seen donning the role of an IPS officer. He will be seen in a dual role, according to some reports. The poster shows a fiery Rajinikanth with guns with the Gateway of India in the backdrop. Murugadoss’ earlier action-film, Thuppakki, was also based in Mumbai. Rajinikanth will return to  playing the role of a police officer after a good 25 years.

The poster also has a tagline that states, ” you decide whether you want me to be good bad or worse,” in the typical Rajinikanth style.

Really looking forward to this film… Rajinikanth and director AR Murugadoss join hands for #Darbar… Costars Nayanthara… #Pongal2020 release… #Thalaivar167FirstLook… #DarbarFirstLook poster: pic.twitter.com/VIGOe7J69H
