Thalapathy Vijay’s “Leo” First Look Poster Draws Comparisons to Game of Thrones, Fans Decode Clues About Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe

The first look poster of Thalapathy Vijay‘s highly anticipated film “Leo,” directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, was released on the actor’s birthday, creating a buzz among fans. However, the poster drew comparisons to the famous English series “Game of Thrones” due to its similar background and theme. Netizens on social media pointed out the resemblance, with some users even creating collages comparing the two posters.

The “Leo” poster showcases Thalapathy Vijay in an intense action-hero avatar, engaging in a high-voltage fight sequence while wielding a blood-coated sledgehammer. A wolf is seen in the background of a jungle. The poster carries a caption that reads, “In the world of untamed rivers, calm waters either become divine Gods or dreaded demons.”

While the fierce avatar of Thalapathy Vijay garnered praise, the similarities between the “Leo” poster and “Game of Thrones” caught the attention of movie buffs. Netizens on Twitter shared collages comparing the two posters, noting the resemblance in the background and theme. Some users expressed surprise at the uncanny resemblance, while others appreciated the similar vibe. The comparison sparked discussions among fans on social media.

Interestingly, the director, Lokesh Kanagaraj, had previously hinted at the plot of “Leo” is based on fire, ice, and his cinematic universe (LCU). Fans who closely examined the first-look poster noticed additional details that fueled speculation about the film’s connection to Lokesh Kanagaraj’s cinematic universe. They spotted a hand and teeth covered in bloodshed, theorizing that they belonged to Vijay Sethupathi’s character, Santhanam, from the film “Master.” Fans quickly made connections and speculated that “Leo” would bring back old characters from Lokesh Kanagaraj’s previous works, further expanding his cinematic universe. However, the authenticity of these theories can only be confirmed in due course. Nevertheless, these observations have heightened excitement among movie buffs eagerly awaiting the release of “Leo.”

Apart from the intriguing poster, fans are also eagerly anticipating the release of the first single from the film, titled “Naa Ready.” The combination of music composer Anirudh Ravichander and Thalapathy Vijay has previously delivered blockbuster tracks, and fans expect nothing less from their latest collaboration.

“Leo” features Trisha Krishnan as the female lead, marking her reunion with Thalapathy Vijay after a gap of 14 years. Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, who made a strong impression with his antagonist role in “KGF,” is set to debut in his Tamil film industry as the villain in “Leo.”

As the anticipation for “Leo” builds, fans eagerly await further updates and revelations about the film’s plot, characters, and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s cinematic universe.
