The Maanagaram filmmaker said that the poster will be out after a few hours, 12 am to be precise. This has left the social media buzzing as expected. Fans have already started guessing how the first look of the star would be.

It is heard that the makers will be unveiling more than one poster tomorrow. Vijay's previous releases like Varisu and Beast had more than one poster revealed on his birthday. There are reports that a glimpse video from Leo will also be out.

The movie's distribution in major territories has been signed and is set for a huge release on October 19 in four languages. The UK-Europe distributor of Leo had announced the other day that they are ensuring the biggest release possible for a south Indian project.
