A poster along with the title seems to have leaked ahead of Upendra's birthday on 18 September. The fans have deciphered the name of the film to be U and I. While 'I' is written in red, the letter 'U', underneath it, is seen in white font.

The poster also reveals that the story, screenplay, dialogues, and direction will be made by Upendra himself while it will be produced on his home banner. It will be a pan-India film made in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam languages.

It also looks like an Ú-shaped namam. However, in popular culture, people use the term when asking people not to get cheated or make one's self fool.

Nonetheless, the poster has now generated curiosity although the picture of the Real Star in the poster is an old one.
