Their new film, titled 1947 August 16, stars Gautham in the lead role. The makers of the film unveiled the first look of the actor on Wednesday while announcing the film. The poster of the film, which also stars debutant Revathy, shows Gautham in a fierce and intriguing look. He can be seen sporting what appears to be a kurta and dhoti and leading a riot in what looks like a burning jungle. 1947 August 16, which is a period drama, is being produced by Murugadoss and directed by his friend and director NS Ponkumar.
Sharing the poster on Twitter, Gautham wrote: “Here it is, the first look of my next film! 1947 August 16 by Ponkumar.”
