The makers of the upcoming film Veeram released the first poster and actor Kunal Kapoor looked every bit of a true and epic warrior in it. Veeram is an adaptation of legendary poet Shakespear's classic Macbeth. Kunal Kapoor shared the first look on Twitter. The poster gives a glimpse of the bare back of the actor who dons the avatar of a warrior. The story is set in the North Malabar area of Kerala. Directed by national award-winning film-maker Jayaraj Nair, the film has been co-produced by Chandramohan Pillai and Pradeep Rajan of Chandrakala Arts. Veeram is being made in Malayalam, Hindi and English. Set in 13th century Kerala, the film resuscitates the real life character made famous through folklore literature and songs. Action choreographer Allan Poppleton, who has worked on films such as 300, Hunger Games and Avatar, has been roped in to take care of the action sequences in the movie. Award-winning make-up artist Trefor Proud has also been brought on board. Lethargy is evading Kunal Kapoor despite the fact that he’s working for 24 hours straight. Kumal says he shot for an entire day for Veeram, and can go on for another 24-hour shift for the upcoming southern film without any complaints. “Shot 24 hours straight for Veeram. Ready to shoot another 24 hours. Time becomes so irrelevant when you are enjoying what you do na,” Kunal tweeted.

It’s fun and I am going to keep it till I chop my hair off for the next one,” Kunal said in a statement. Kunal, fondly remembered as Aslam from the 2006 film Rang De Basanti, will be seen playing a warrior in the Veeram.
