Sanjay Dutt has shared the poster for his upcoming Tamil debut movie, Leo. The poster shows him with lead star Vijay, as the two go for each others’ throats.
The film is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and will be out on October 19. The new poster shows Vijay fuming with rage and holding Sanjay Dutt, who plays Antony Das, by his throat. Explosions go off in the background as flames occupy the rest of the poster. Sharing the poster, Sanjay wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “#LeoPosterFeast #LeoHindiPoster.”
Fans of the actor welcomed him to the Tamil film industry. “Can’t wait to see the epic face off sir! You look menacing,” wrote a person. “Most awaited FACE-OFF,” wrote another. A fan also noticed, “Hats off to you for controlling your laughter looking at Joseph’s reaction in poster while photoshoot sir.”
Sanjay was most recently seen in a special appearance in Jawan. He played a police officer in the film, led by Shah Rukh Khan and directed by Atlee.
