Shooting for Thalapathy Vijay and Lokesh Kangaraj’s second collaboration Leo is underway. The film is said to be a part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe with Trisha and Sanjay Dutt at the helm along with Vijay. Vijay Sethupathi will reportedly voice him as the character of Sanjay Dutt in the Tamil version of the film. Previously, actor Farzi was expected to be a part of Leo.
According to a report by Pinkvilla, Sanjay Dutt will be playing the role of Thalapathy Vijay’s father in the film. The source told Portal that, “Although the character is modeled as a father in role, he is essentially a gangster role. Both Sanjay Dutt and Thalapathy Vijay will be seen as gangsters in the film and share a unique dynamic in Leo.” Dutt is also said to have collected a large sum of around Rs 10 crore to be a part of this gangster drama.
It is unknown if Master, Vikram or Leo will continue to travel with Lokesh. But like Karthi’s voice in Vikram, there is a possibility that Leo will feature only the voice of Vijay Sethupathi’s character Sandanam. On the other hand, Thalapathy Vijay will try out the role of a gangster in his 40s who is staying in Kashmir, away from the mafia world at the head of a chocolate factory. However, the team is keeping the film’s story under wraps.
Lokesh Kangaraj’s direction is expected to wrap up its production stage in mid-July and hit the big screens on October 19 this year. The filmmakers will also be promoting the film in Hindi.
Apart from the lead actors, Leo has a stellar star cast including Arjun, Priya Anand, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan, Matthew Thomas and Sandy among others. Meanwhile, Lokesh Kanagaraj and superstar Rajinikanth will team up for their next project, tentatively titled, Thalaivar 171.
