Leo, the Vijay-Lokesh Kanakaraj movie, has debuted its much awaited first-look poster. On the superstar’s 49th birthday, the poster made its debut at midnight and showed a bloody, ferocious Vijay standing next to a hyena. On June 22, when the movie’s first look poster was released in honour of the actor’s birthday, it broke a record on social media by receiving over one million likes, according to reports. It was posted on Twitter at midnight. Lokesh Kanagaraj of “Vikram” fame is directing “Leo.” Sanjay Dutt also appears in the movie as the main antagonist, and Trisha portrays the female protagonist. Key characters in “Leo” are also played by Mathew Thomasn, Priya Anand, Gowtham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, and Action King Arjun, among others.

Leo has accomplished notable milestones even before he appeared on the screens. High expectations have been established by the record-breaking prices at which the non-theatrical, digital, and international rights to the movie were sold. Notably, the Leo producers are allegedly asking for an incredible 25 crore rupees for the Telugu states, which is more than Vijay’s previous career high of 15 crore and director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s maximum asking price of 20 crore in the same area. It is important to note that the dynamic combo of Lokesh Kanagaraj and Vijay previously worked together on the hugely successful film Master, which was produced in both Telugu and Tamil.
