As the crowd roared and Centre Court witnessed history, Wimbledon’s official social media handle dropped a surprise post that sent fans into a frenzy. The visual mirrored Jana Nayagan’s iconic Republic Day poster, with Sinner striking a powerful selfie pose with his trophy — echoing Vijay’s own image in the film’s teaser art. The post was aptly captioned "The First Roar," inspired by the thunderous BGM composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
