The first look poster of Sivakarthikeyan’s new film ‘Hero’ has just been released online. The film is being directed by PS Mithran of ‘Irumbuthirai’ fame. The first look poster features Sivakarthikeyan with a ‘Krrish’ like mask. Touted to be an action-thriller, ‘Hero’ also stars ‘action king’ Arjun, Kalyani Priyadarshan and Bollywood star Abhay Deol in major roles. The movie is being produced by RD Raja’s 24 AM Studios and KJR Studios.

According to director Mithran, ‘Hero’ will be on the lines of his directorial debut ‘Irumbuthirai’, with a very relevant social message in it. Abhay Deol reportedly plays the villain in the film. The actor is well known for his performances in films like ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, ‘Manorama Six Feet Under’ and ‘Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye’. ‘Hero’ marks his entry to Kollywood. It is also Kalyani Priyadarshan’s maiden Tamil film.

‘Hero’ has George C Willaims cranking the camera and Ruben handling the edits. Yuvan Shankar Raja is the music director. The film is expected to hit screens sometime by the end of this year itself.
