'Leo' is an action thriller starring Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Sarja, Gautham Menon, Mysskin, and Priya Anand. Sanjay Dutt will also be part of the film. The script was co-written by Rathna Kumar, Deeraj Vaidy, and Lokesh Kanagaraj. Anirudh Ravichander created the film's music, and Manoj Paramahamsa and Philomin Raj handled cinematography and editing, respectively.
The film's trailer was released last week and it got everyone talking. According to the trailer, the film is about a 'mild-mannered' café owner who becomes a local hero after committing an act of violence. However, he quickly begins to face repercussions from his old life. In the film, we see not just Vijay's former life haunting him, but also a cruel Sanjay Dutt as the villain.
