Lokesh officially announced a few weeks ago that Vijay has wrapped up shooting for the movie. The team is currently busy with its post-production works even as fans are awaiting another update. The first look poster and first single were unveiled on June 22, on the occasion of Vijay's birthday.

Lokesh revealed recently that the second single from the movie would be an unusual number. Despite film buffs not being sure of the project being part of the universe the director created in his previous outing Vikram, the craze surrounding Leo is unprecedented. More posters and stills of the film are likely to be out in the next month.  

The trade is eagerly looking forward to the numbers the film will bring to the table. It is getting released in four languages and the movie does not have any threat in the form of other releases in Kollywood and Mollywood. 

However, the film has an unavoidable clash in Tollywood as the makers of Balakrishna-starrer Bhagavanth Kesari have announced its release date as October 19. Ravi Teja's Tiger Nageswara Rao will be hitting the screens a day later, on October 20. The last festival season, too, witnessed films of Vijay and Balakrishna releasing around the same time.
