In the first look poster, Vijay can be seen giving a ferocious expression as he uses a hammer to hit a living being, which is not clearly visible in the poster. Behind Vijay is a wolf, looking equally ferocious.
'Leo' will also act as Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt debut in Tamil cinema. Actors Arjun Sarja, Mansoor Ali Khan, Priya Anand, Mysskin and Gautham Vasudev Menon round out the cast.
The film started shooting earlier this year. It is produced by S S Lalit Kumar and co-produced by Jagadish Palanisamy. The plot details of the movie have been kept under wraps. However, there are speculations that the movie is part of Kanagaraj's 'Lokesh Cinematic Universe', which also includes Karthi-led 'Kaithi' and 'Vikram', headlined by cinema veteran Kamal Haasan.
In March, the team of Leo dropped a video saluting the spirit of the team who shot for the film in difficult conditions.
"Massive respect to the cast and crew of #LEO who worked really hard no matter what, in the process of entertaining people," wrote Lokesh Kanagaraj sharing the video.
'Thalalathy 67' is truly a special project as it marks the third collaboration of Thalapathy Vijay sir and 7 Screen Studio after giving two blockbusters, Master and Varisu. The project also marks the reunion of Thalapathy Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj, after the massive success in their previous outing - âMaster'.
7 Screen Studio's 'Thalalathy 67' will be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film will star, Thalapathy Vijay sir, Sanjay Dutt and Trisha Krishnan. The film is produced by SS Lalit Kumar.
