More about Leo

Leo marks the second collaboration between Thalapathy Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj after the 2021 action film Master. The action thriller film is officially a part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, or the LCU for short, enhancing the curiosity that fans already had regarding the LCU. The film, although well received by the audience, received criticisms for the second half of the film, with fans also complaining about the flashback scene in the film. The general consensus among fans was that the antagonist characters could have been established in a better way.

Leo was bankrolled by SS Lalit Kumar and Jagadish Palanisamy under the banner of Seven Screen Studio. The music for the film was composed by Anirudh Ravichander while the cinematography department was handled by Manoj Paramahamsa. 

The LCU  right now features three films, Kaithi, Vikram and Leo, with Karthi, Kamal Haasan, Vijay, Suriya, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Faasil. Fans are undoubtedly excited to see who else is likely to join this star-studded cast.
