New Delhi: A R Murugadoss revealed the first look of his upcoming film Rangoon, which soon capitulated to a trending hashtag on social networking site Twitter. The film will be directed by his assistant director, Rajkumar Periasamy and co-produced by Fox Star Studios - Murugadoss' frequent collaborator. Rangoon stars Gautham Karthik and Sana Makbul in lead roles. In February, a Bollywood film of the same name also released starring Shahid Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut and Saif Ali Khan and directed by Vishal Bhardwaj.
