The background of the poster also reveals a lot about the theme and tone of the movie. First, a police officer can be seen shooting a farmer, next, a woman can be seen holding on to her infant child while yelling at someone, and finally, a young woman can be seen raising her fist in protest.

An interesting aspect of the people in the background is that they have all been stylized to look like grim stone statues standing behind Vijay. Below is the poster for Laabam that was shared by Vijay Sethupathi on his official Instagram page.
