With both 'Villain Yaaru' and 'Ordinary Person' now out, the final unreleased track that fans will be looking forward to up ahead will be the 'I'm Scared' track in the week ahead.

'Thalapathy' Vijay's Leo is set for a gargantuan theatrical release starting October 19 and fans have now begun celebrations after the film's music director Anirudh Ravichander dropped his review after watching the film. On Monday, October 9, the 'Rockstar' of Tamil cinema shared his reaction on social media after watching the mass action drama film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj during a private screening. Taking to X, Anirudh posted his Leo review in the form of five sets of emojis, leading to a super-enthusiastic response from Vijay's fans, who are in high spirits after his latest response. 

Anirudh posted in his Leo review the fire emoji, followed by the collision emoji, and the trophy emoji, in five sets thus implying that the Vijay-starrer is  an explosive visual feast to be enjoyed in theatres. It is to be noted that the blockbuster composer had earlier this year posted similar reviews for 'Superstar' Rajinikanth's Jailer and Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, which saw him deliver chart-topping hits songs and thunderous background scores. Anirudh's latest reaction in his Leo review will no doubt get fans hyped up for the film's release considering they are still on a high after witnessing Vijay in a high-octane action mode in the film's trailer. 

Leo marks the second time the Vijay, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Anirudh trio has teamed up after their box-office money-spinner Master (2021) and they will be looking to hit the high note once again with their latest action treat. The film has Trisha playing the female lead and is incidentally her 67th venture, with Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt, 'Action King' Arjun, Mysskin, and Sandy master cast in negative roles, while Mansoor Ali Khan, Gautham Menon, Priya Anand, Mathew Thomas, Iyal, among others, will also be making appearances. 

'Superstar' Rajinikanth shares his honest review about Jailer at the success meet, says Anirudh made it better - full speech video out

A grand success meet of 'Superstar' Rajinikanth's Jailer directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and featuring music composed by Anirudh Ravichander was held in Chennai on Saturday, September 16, which saw the stars and the technicians grace the occasion. The major highlight of the event was the actor's speech in which he went on to appreciate all the people associated with Jailer, while also recalling the journey of being a part of the film to its success. Rajinikanth said, "I watched the film first without the re-recording. I then asked Sembian sir and Kannan sir about their opinions on the film. Kannan was all praise. I told him, ' Nelson is your friend and you will obviously appreciate him.' I then asked Sembian and he said the film was average. But, the film before the re-recording was done, was average to me too. However, the manner in which Anirudh lifted the film was, 'My God'. He transformed Jailer almost like a bride-to-be after makeup. Superb." He further stated, "And, the technicians who worked in the film, especially cameraman Kartik. I didn't expect him to add such an effect to the film. After the completion of the shooting, he stayed in Bombay for more than 30 days, watched all the frames, and added a big effect to the film. And, when editor Nirmal took the film and filled it up completely, the effect was superb." 

Explaining his joy at Jailer becoming a hit, Rajinikanth said, "I swear, when this film became a hit, I was happy only for five days. After those five days, I started getting tensed about my next film and how to make it an even bigger hit since there will be higher expectations now. Really I'm telling you, I'm under a lot of tension about my next film and I don't know what to do. I have to mention this too. Kalanithi sir was the first to watch the film with Nelson and Anirudh. When Anirudh asked if he felt it would come out like Petta, Kala sir it's the Baasha of 2023. Then, at the audio launch, he declared that the film was going to be a mega-hit and a record-maker." He continued, "It's no simple thing to say such a thing openly in public and that is why I'm saying he can become an astrologer. At the time when Baasha became a hit, I began doing only one film a year and decided to shift gears and do different films. And, that is when I did Muthu, and a period film after that and went ahead without any comparisons. But, my next film is also a modern subject, and the tension that I'm feeling now, it's the same for Nelson too. All this has fallen in place at the right place by God's grace." 

Speaking about the cameos in Jailer, Rajinikanth said, "Shivarajkumar, Jackie Shroff, and Mohanlal came and acted in the film. Nelson is a good example of how to make use of an artiste for a cameo. Even if their roles were short, they acted wonderfully and I want to thank all of them. If you look at how the situation is now, the people are enjoying the minute details after the film came out on OTT. It's a celebration." He added, And, a special mention about Nelson's comic sense - hats off to him for that. Before the release, I mentioned Sholay and its villain Gabbar Singh, and how the character became a sensation when it was released in 1975. Similarly, I then told them that the Varman character played by Vinayakan in this film would become a sensation like Gabbar Singh. Raman has respect because of Ravana. Likewise, the respect for Jailer is because of this Varman. He gave such a wonderful performance. Suneel, Tamannaah, VTV Ganesh, and everyone did a wonderful job."

The expectations for the Leo second single are huge, especially after the first song 'Naa Ready' sung by Vijay and Anirudh and featuring rap written and performed by Asal Kolaar to the lyrics penned by Vishnu Edavan, received a staggering response. The high-energy track released as a special treat on Vijay's birthday in June has already registered several records on streaming platforms while crossing 100 million views on YouTube recently, with a similar reaction once again being contemplated for the Leo second single. 

Anirudh has been a powerhouse addition to Leo and fans will be looking for him to top his game after 'Naa Ready' in the film, which is scheduled to open in cinemas worldwide on October 19 ahead of the Ayudha pooja festivities. It is to be noted that the hit music director is collaborating with the 'Thalapathy' Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj duo for the second time after their Master (2021). Leo is billed to be an out-and-out mass action feast and will see Vijay sharing the screen alongside Trisha once again after 15 years, with Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt, 'Action King' Arjun, and filmmaker Mysskin cast in negative roles, while director Gautham Menon, Priya Anand, Sandy master, Mathew Thomas, among others, will be seen making appearances as well.

Shah Rukh Khan took part in an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session with fans on X on Thursday, August 10, where he answered several queries, including the ones about his next big film, Jawan. Scheduled to open in cinemas worldwide on September 7, the upcoming film is touted to be a mass action thriller and marks the big Bollywood debut of several big Tamil cinema names starting with filmmaker Atlee, 'Lady Superstar' Nayanthara, 'Rockstar' composer Anirudh Ravichander, cinematographer GK Vishnu and editor Ruben. 

During the AMA session, Shah Rukh Khan was posed with several questions about Jawan, including one about the message of the film. The 'Bollywood Baadshah' responded saying, "The film has a strong take on women empowerment…how to respect and stand for them. (sic)" He also revealed that the film will be an "emotional drama" apart from including loads of action. Upon being asked how much time it took to complete the film, SRK stated that it was, "a little longer than should have", while adding that, "Atlee has become less Jawan (sic)". When asked whether he fell for co-star Nayanthara during the film's shooting, the Hindi cinema superstar gave an epic witty response and promptly said, "Chup karo! Doh bacchon ki maa hain woh (Shut up! She's mom to two young kids)!! Ha ha. #Jawan.(sic)" Shah Rukh Khan also showered praises on Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi and his performance as the villain in Jawan. He posted, "@VijaySethuOffl he is such an amazing person and actor. Really want everyone to see his subtle nuances and histrionics in the film. Too good. (sic)"

A section of Shah Rukh Khan's fans held a special screening of Chennai Express (2013) in 50 North Indian cities, with the actor mentioning it was a lovely experience ten years ago. He added that there's a new Chennai Express loading now in the form of Jawan with Atlee, Vijay Sethupathi, Anirudh, Nayanthara, dance choreographer Shobhi, and fight master Anl Arasu. The actor also went on to reveal that his favorite Jawan song is titled 'Chaleya', which he informed is "romantic and sweet and gentle..." like him while complimenting Anirudh saying he "has excelled". Declaring that the upcoming film too will be getting a "full 3D IMAX version", SRK hoped that he gets a place in the hearts of his fans in South India. Upon being asked whether he'd watch 'Superstar' Rajinikanth's Jailer, the Pathaan star said, "Of course I love Rajni sir….Maassss!! He had come on Jawan set and blessed us too. (sic)" Shah Rukh Khan concluded his AMA session answering a question about Jawan director Atlee and whether he could dance. He posted, "@Atlee_dir  he can dance and make everyone dance also to his tunes. Now time to get to work everyone. Have A good day. Be happy…thanks for joining #AskSRK  & remember ‘jab main villain Banta hoon na….’ Ha ha ha ha( evil laughter) love u all. #Jawan (sic)"
