The first look poster of Sivakarthikeyan's upcoming Rajini Murugan was launched on Saturday, 25th April at 6 pm.

It was a simple and colorful design featuring a charming and smiling Siva with a red ribbon on his head and sporting a blue shirt. The look was reminiscent of his 'Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam' make-over and Sivakarthikeyan has touch of Rajinikanth's 80's style.
The response from fans was tremendous and very quickly a trending phenomenon all over the country, on Twitter. Siva's fandom continues to grow with a loyal band of followers in social network. The star was apparently humbled by the response and took to his Twitter to address all this love, and also about the Rajini factor in the title.
