🎬 Sandiyar Movie Posters: Kamal Haasan’s Gun and Blade First Looks
Raaj Kamal Films International has unveiled a series of Sandiyar movie posters featuring Kamal Haasan in several stark, weapon-focused compositions. The title was officially revealed on 6 November 2026, followed by birthday artwork on 7 November announcing that filming had begun.
Directed by SU Arun Kumar, the upcoming Tamil film uses dark backgrounds, close-up portraits, and weathered props in its early publicity. These are promotional images, not scenes or confirmed details from the story.
🎞️ What the Sandiyar Movie Posters Reveal
The first-look design places Haasan beside the open window of an old vehicle. With short grey hair, a thick beard, and a dark brown shirt, he rests one arm across the door, holding a handgun pointed downward. The pale, worn door panel bears conspicuous red streaks. An English-language version places SANDIYAR over the lower-left portion of the picture, while a Tamil version uses the title சண்டியர்.
Another image moves away from the vehicle altogether. Against an almost entirely black background, Haasan stands in profile wearing a dark sleeveless outfit, a broad curved blade held down at his side. The generous empty space around him makes the weapon’s outline particularly noticeable. A separate portrait tightens the frame around his face and beard, with a narrow shaft of warm light cutting down past one eye.
The birthday artwork returns to a front-facing composition. Haasan holds a handgun in both hands, while a strip of orange light falls across his forehead, eye, and cheek. The text wishes him a happy birthday and announces that the shoot begins that day. The imagery suggests a hard-edged, action-oriented tone, but none of the posters establishes his character’s name, the film’s exact setting, or its complete plot.

👥 Sandiyar Cast and Crew
Kamal Haasan is the only performer identified. SU Arun Kumar directs the film, marking his first collaboration with Kamal Haasan. Arun Kumar previously directed Chithha and Veera Dheera Sooran, among other Tamil films.
Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music, with Anbariv handling action choreography. The announced technical team includes cinematographer Sunil KS, production designer CS Balachander, and costume designer Amritha Ram. Kamal Haasan and R. Mahendran are credited as producers under the Raaj Kamal Films International and Turmeric Media banners, with S. Disney listed as co-producer. Other cast members have not been confirmed through these poster announcements.
RKFI is also backing Seyon, whose recent promotional posters have been covered on CinemaRumble.
📅 Shooting Begins; Release Date Still Awaited
The makers announced the title on 6 November and confirmed on 7 November that shooting had started, as reflected in their official filming-start post. There is no confirmed theatrical release date, and no teaser or trailer date has been announced.
The name Sandiyar also has a place in Kamal Haasan’s film history: it was an earlier intended title for Virumaandi (2004). Sharing that title does not establish a sequel or a story connection.
For now, the first-look posters offer the clearest evidence of the new film’s visual direction, while further casting and release details are yet to be announced.
