The first look poster of Vijay Sethupathi’s next film Sindhubaadh was released by the makers on January 16, the actor’s birthday.
The poster features Vijay Sethupathi with bruises on his face while a gang of armed young men run towards him. The setting looks like the streets of some South East Asian country, and it is expected that the events in the film might unfold over there.
