The launch of Leo trailer last evening invoked a wide set of reactions online, and among it was the nostalgia of seeing Velu (Vijay) and Dhanalakshmi (Trisha) back on screen. Vijay and Trisha came to be known by their Ghilli (2004) character names among Tamil cine audience, after their film became a runaway hit almost 2 decades ago.
Youngsters who watched the movie back then are well into their adulthood now, and they couldn't keep themselves from drawing a parallel between the famous Ghilli character arcs and the upcoming Leo.
This time velu has to save himself rather than dhanalakshmi😂

Mathew is going to be vijay's son I guess. Like Joey's son in History of Violence. As you can see Mathew is awaiting someone in the door and throws the spear. https://t.co/p2I1MGZVOR pic.twitter.com/5xvxrXF89u
