To date, all the posters shared hinted at the film being a rural drama, with the first poster featuring a shack that sells tiffins. Dhanush shared two posters on Wednesday evening that revealed his look from the film, writing, “Idli kadai First look. stay connected to your roots.”

The second poster shows him in a younger look, sporting a clean shave and dressed in a shirt and pants, as he stands with a man who’s dressed similar to how Dhanush was in the first poster. The posters hint that the film will explore two time periods in the protagonist’s life.

Fans were thrilled to see his looks from the film, with one fan commenting, “This vibe uhh.” Another wrote, “Rural entertainer loading.” A fan even decoded the posters, writing, “Any one noted that.... Kiran sir in the second picture, like dress, dhothi, shirt with towel and thiruneer on the forehead, sandals on the foot. All are same in the D' first pic.”
