The intriguing poster features Simbu in a never-before-seen before raw and primal avatar. With his trademark beard and long hair, Simbu seems ready to deliver a knockout punch. His dual appearance on the poster hints at a double role premise, with one character likely to have grey shades. This has thickened the plot further for audiences.

Kamal Haasan has pulled off a masterstroke by roping in Simbu for his 48th production extravaganza. The movie is being mounted on a mammoth budget of ₹100 crores to envision Haasan’s cinematic vision.

Simbu’s Dual Avatar

STR 48’s poster indicates that Simbu will be playing two distinct characters. One seems to be a valiant warrior while the other gives villainous vibes. Portraying this good versus evil dual role will showcase Simbu’s versatility as a performer.

From Simbu’s primal and untamed look, STR 48 seems to be an epic period drama set in ancient times. Simbu has never done a pre-historic battle movie before. This will provide a breath of fresh air from his usual modern outings. Audiences will get to see Simbu wage war with swords and spears.
