He added that the blurred effect was very close to the character. Once he pitched this idea, the entire team, including Lokesh and Vijay sir, became really excited. They even praised him and asked him how he tapped into such an idea. However, Gobi did not reveal the exact reason for the blurred effect and how it related to Vijay's character in the film. Though he did state that the upcoming poster would give fans more hints about the character. It is likely that fans will not know the true reason for the blurry poster until the film's release. Whatever the reason for the blurred image, it is connected to Vijay's arc and personality in the film.
