Thalapathy Vijay, one of the most loved mass heroes in South Indian cinema already has a strong presence on Facebook and Twitter with followers numbering 7.8 million and 4.4M respectively. His posts are very rare and come mostly when his films are announced or released.

Today Vijay's manager and 'Leo' co-producer officially announced that the charismatic superstar has opened his official account on Instagram as well. Vijay has posted a photo of himself in Kashmir for 'Leo' shooting with his favorite words "Hello Nanbas and Nanbis". Within a few minutes more than a lakh followers got on board the account and by the look of it the Thalapathy fans will break records on the photosharing platform as well.

On the professional front after a couple of week's break, Vijay will resume shooting of 'Leo' in Chennai. The film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj has music by Anirudh and stars Vijay, Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun and others. After the release of the film on October 19th, Vijay will move on to 'Thalapathy 68' directed by Atlee.
