The new poster sees Rajinikanth walking with a rod in his hand, wearing a red shirt and white dhoti. The poster has goddess Durga as the backdrop.
It was recently announced that Annaatthe will be released in cinemas during Diwali this year. Tipped to be a rural drama, the film also stars Keerthy Suresh, Meena and Khushbu Sundar. The film was officially launched in December 2019 in Chennai at a low-key affair.
Rajinikanth, who was last seen on the big screen in AR Murugadoss's Darbar (2020), will be seen playing the role of a village president in Annaatthe, which will have a simultaneous dubbed release in Telugu.
After the colossal flop of Darbar, Rajinikanth agreed to take a 50% pay cut for Annaatthe at the behest of the producers. Reportedly, his remuneration was reduced from Rs118 crore for Darbar to Rs58 crore for Annaatthe.
Annaatthe, which has been produced by Sun Pictures, has been directed by Siva and has music by D Imman.
