Silambarasan offers a glimpse of STR48

Taking to his X handle, the Tamil actor shared a short clip which opened with a pan short -- warriors ready for a war in their armour and waiting in line for their leader outside a castle. As the video continues, their leader Silambarasan enters the frame while in the background they cheer for him loudly and by thumping their armour. The video ends with a text that reads, "The greatest living exoerience Coming Soon."

Sharing the post, he wrote, "Excited about this one! StayTuned…"

What do we know about STR48?

The film is touted to be a Thara local period drama directed by Desingh Periyasamy and produced by Kamal Haasan under Raaj Kamal Films International banner. In the film, he will be sporting a fierce avatar for the film. Opening up about STR 48, a source had previously told Pinkvilla, “It’s an out and out action film in the period set up and director Desingh Periyasamy plans to mount it as the biggest STR film till date. The estimated budget of the film will be around Rs 100 crore, thereby emerging the costliest film of STR’s career. It features STR in a dual role, and both the characters have their own distinct identity.”

With a tagline Blood and Battle, STR 48 marks the first collaboration between Silambarasan and director Desingh. The makers are yet to announce the release date.
