The upcoming movie will be titled Romeo in Tamil and Love Garu in Telugu. In the poster, the lead pair can be seen standing in front of a fire and a flurry of flower petals, signifying both the intensity and tenderness of love. 

In Romeo, Anthony will be starring opposite actress Mirnalini Ravi, who is a pretty fresh face in the South Indian industry. She started her career with the 2019 film Super Deluxe and Romeo is her next. While the film will be directed by Vinayak Vaithianathan, it has Anthony as the producer. 

While sharing the poster on his social media handles, Antony wrote in the caption, “Thank you to the people who wanted to see me as a romantic hero, as well as to the press and media friends. Your request has been granted. ROMEO❤️ Summer 2024" (sic). The first schedule of the film is being shot in Malaysia after which the team may shift to India for the second filming plan.
