Trisha’s mother Uma Krishnan clarifies about ‘Leo’ controversy

Thalapathy Vijay’s mega action thriller ‘Leo’ is very much in the spotlight after the title was announced and the “Blood Sweet” video released and went viral on the internet. On the first of this month the cast and crew members flew to Kashmir and have been shooting in testing cold conditions.

A rumour started doing the rounds that Trisha Krishnan the leading lady of ‘Leo’ who travelled with Vijay to Kashmir flew back after three days.  The reports carried a photo of Trish at the Chennai airport and claimed that she walked out of the sets due to creative differences with director Lokesh Kanagaraj.  There were also other rumours that the 39 year old beauty could not bear the cold and returned to Chennai.

Netizens went one step further and spread speculations that Priya Anand is the real heroine in the film and Trisha’s character will only appear in the flashback for a few scenes and will be killed off. Meanwhile Trisha’s mother Uma Krishnan has clarified to a news channel that her daughter is very much in Kashmir and is shooting for ‘Leo’ with the other cast members.  She made it clear that all the reports about her are baseless.

‘Leo’ is produced by Lalit Kumar and Jagadish Palaniswamy with Anirudh scoring the music.  The ensemble cast comprises Vijay, Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Action King Arjun, Priya Anand, Mansoor Ali Khan, Sandy Master, Mysskin, Gautham Menon, Mathew Thomas, and Agent Tina Vasanthi . Cinematography is by Manoj Paramahamsa, editing by Philomin Raj, art direction by Satish Kumar, stunt direction by Anbariv and the dance choreography is by Dinesh.
