On Tuesday, on the occasion of Ganesh Chathurthi, the makers of Vishal's Magudam unveiled the first-look poster of the film. The poster features Vishal in three distinct looks: as a corporate office employee, a young don, and a slightly older gang leader. The film, helmed by Ravi Arasu, also stars Dushara Vijayan as the female lead. Anjali and Yogi Babu are also set to feature in prominent roles.
Sharing the poster on X, Vishal penned a long note. "And finally, happy and elated and excited with full-on positivity to reveal the first look of my next film #Magudam in Tamil and #Makutam in Telugu. Hope you all like it. Completed the 2nd schedule and back to Chennai. More surprises await in the near future. Love you, darlings. @dhilipaction and @Richardmnathan for the hard work and team effort. Kickass action sequence we knocked off. So happy to release it on an auspicious day. Happy #vinayagarchaturthi #vinayakachavithi. Enjoy this day filled with joy, peace and prosperity, to all my darlings. God bless." (sic)
The film, which marks the 99th production of Super Good Films, recently wrapped its second schedule in Ooty. The film marks Dushara's first collaboration with Vishal, while Anjali has worked with Vishal in the long-delayed and recently released Madha Gaja Raja. Yogi Babu has previously worked with Vishal in films like Patathu Yaanai, Ayoghya, Action, Veeramae Vaagai Soodum, and Rathnam.
Details about the rest of the cast members are kept under wraps. Ravi Arasu has previously helmed Eetti and Ayngaran. In an exclusive interview with Cinema Express, the director earlier revealed about the film’s genre, saying, “The upcoming film is a gangster drama. Both my previous directorials, Eetti and Ayngaran, were intense films. This upcoming film is also intense and is being shot on a big scale."
Magudam's music will be composed by GV Prakash, who is joining hands with the actor for the second time after Mark Antony. Cinematography is by Richard M Nathan, and editing is handled by Srikanth NB. G Durairaj is the production designer.
