New Delhi:

Superstar Vijay is celebrating his forty ninth birthday in the present day [June 22] and followers of the actor are flooding social media with celebratory messages. However, in true Thalapathy Vijay model, the actor handled followers to a present on the event. We are speaking concerning the poster of the actor’s subsequent challenge, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, titled Leo. If the primary look poster of Leo is something to go by, it seems that Vijay shouldn’t be unafraid of unleashing his violent facet within the much-awaited film. In the poster, Vijay is seen wielding a bloody sledgehammer with an indignant expression on his face. Seen alongside him is an equally ferocious hyena. Also, don’t miss the snow-capped mountains within the background This could not come as a shock for many followers because the movie is reportedly set in Kashmir. Sharing the poster, Vijay merely wrote, “#LeoFirstLook.”

Sharing the poster, director Lokesh Kanagaraj wished the celebrity and wrote, “Leo first look is right here! Happy Birthday @actorvijay anna (brother)! Elated to affix palms with you once more na! Have a blast!”

This is Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s second collaboration after Master.
