The first-look poster of Thalapathy Vijay-starrer Leo was unveiled by the makers at midnight to mark the 49th birthday of the Tamil star.
“ #LeoFirstLook is here! Happy Birthday @actorvijay anna! Elated to join hands with you again na! Have a blast! 🤜🤛❤️ #HBDThalapathyVIJAY #Leo 🔥🧊,“ Lokesh Kangaraj, who is helming the film, tweeted after the release of the poster.
The poster provides a sneak peek into Vijay's menacing look and the thrilling action that awaits viewers in Leo, set to release on October 19. It showcases Vijay holding a bloodied sledgehammer with a wolf lurking in the jungle behind him. "In the realm of wild rivers, tranquil waters either transform into divine deities or feared demons," the caption in the poster says.
Vijay and Trisha will be sharing screen space in Leo after a gap of 15 years. Kuruvi (2008) was their last film together. The movie also features a star-studded cast, including Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt as the antagonist, alongside Arjun, Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan, Gautham Menon, Priya Anand, Mathew Thomas and Sandy Master.
Denzil Smith, a renowned stage actor and producer known for his work in films like Christopher Nolan's Tenet and the web series Delhi Crime, will play a significant role in the upcoming film.
Naa Ready, the first single from Leo composed by Anirudh, will also be released today.
