The fans are sharing their excitement by replying “Thalaiva" under the post. The music director for the film is Yuvan Shankar Raja. The film is expected to hit the theatres in 2024.

According to reports, Venkat Prabhu narrated a one-liner to Vijay when the rumours of their union started to surface. At that time, Vijay was shooting for his last film called Varisu.

Currently, the South superstar is shooting for his upcoming film Leo. The film is set to release on October 19. The director of the film is Lokesh Kangaraj and boasts of a stellar cast with the likes of Sanjay Dutt and Trisha.
