Lokesh Kanagaraj to recreate the ‘Vikram’ magic in ‘Leo’? – Crew reveals

Lokesh Kanagaraj is a riveting director who started the multistarrer trend in Kollywood. His previous film, ‘Vikram’, is the proper star-studded movie in Tamil cinema featuring the iconic actors: Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil. Especially, the shot when the three come together during the climax sequence won over the audience.

Lokesh is now directing Thalapathy Vijay in his new biggie ‘Leo’. This movie is said to have Vijay, Sanjay Dutt and action king Arjun as Das brothers. In a recent interview, stunt master Thavasi, who worked in this film, talked about the combination of the three huge stars. He said, “There is a scene where Thalapathy Vijay, Sanjay Dutt and Action King Arjun will be together.”

“It is going to be a massive theatre moment. Three stars in a single frame like Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil in Vikram. You can’t differentiate between the intro, interval and climax. The audience will be on the seat edge and they can’t be distracted. The entire film will be terrific, frame by frame,” added the action choreographer.

Leo, produced by Seven Screen Studio, is coming to cinemas on October 19. The star cast comprises Vijay, Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, Gautham Menon, Mansoor Ali Khan, Mysskin, Priya Anand, Sandy, Mathew Thomas, Babu Antony and many others. Anirudh is composing music for the film with DOP by Manoj Paramahamsa and editing by Philomin Raj.
