With just a month to go until Leo enters post-production, the movie has brought in another actor from the LCU to reprise their role.

Actor Jaffer Sadiq who played the role of Cutting Plier in Vikram has joined the cast of Leo, so it seems like the character will be making an appernce either in the climax of the movie or an in a post-credit scene.

According to a new report Vijay's upcoming action entertainer Leo is expected to break the international records set by his first movie of 2023 Varisu.

Varisu earned a total of 314 crores at the box office this year making it the highest-grossing Vijay movie of all time and this has encouraged foreign companies to offer around 70 crores for the distribution rights for Leo.

The visual effects for the movie will be handled by Moving Picture Company, which has worked on Oscar-nominated Hollywood movies like Blade Runner 2049 and 1917.

Making Leo the third Indian movie the studio has worked on after the Telugu blockbuster RRR and the Bollywood horror-comedy Bhediya.

The movie is produced by S. S. Lalit Kumar and Jagadish Palanisamy under the banner Seven Screen Studio and reportedly has a budget of 300 crores.

Leo is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and will be the third installment in the LCU following 2019's Kaithi which starred Karthi and 2022s Vikram which starred Kamal Haasan in the lead.

There has been a lot of speculation about the plot of the movie and there is a rumor that the movie has a similar plot to the 2005 Hollywood action movie 'A History of Violence'.

In which a family man is forced to confront this violent past after he encounters someone from his old life as a gangster.

The full cast of the movie includes Vijay, Trisha, Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan, Priya Anand, Manobala, and Janany Kunaseelan.
