We all know that Thalapathy Vijay's next project 'Leo' is a mega multistarrer directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The ensemble star cast includes ace director Gautham Vasudev Menon. Now, he has opened up about his role in Leo during a recent interview with an entertainment portal.

Gautham Menon explained how he came into this project and also split the beans about his character. He said, "I did this for Lokesh Kanagaraj. He asked me to do a role in Vikram but I was unable to do it because of date issues. Then, he wanted me to be in Leo as well. He kept me updated since he signed the project."

Gautham also revealed that he plays a very crucial character and the entire cast and crew was supportive. His character will travel along with Thalapathy Vijay throughout the film and he doesn't have many scenes with director Mysskin in the movie. Leo also stars Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan, Priya Anand, Sandy and many others.

Leo is all set to hit the screens on October 19. It features music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The makers began a new schedule in a studio in Chennai yesterday. The technical team includes Manoj Pramahamsa as the cinematographer and Philomin Raj as the editor with stunts by Anbariv and dialogues by Rathna Kumar and Deeraj Vaidy.
