Dharman new poster released with reference to Rajinikanth classic

On Wednesday, we reported about Rajinikanth's next film with Dragon director Ashwath Marimuthu and producer Kamal Haasan being titled Dharman. In the new poster, Rajinikanth can be seen with a doctor's uniform in his hand and a stethoscope around his neck. Ketta Paiyan Sir. It is worth noting that 'Ketta Paiyan Sir' is a nod to Rajinikanth's iconic line from 1978's Mullum Malarum. The line in the 1978 film reads, "Ketta Paiyan Sir Indha Kaali" (This Kaali is a bad boy).
