Leo story, cast
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film is a homage to the 2005 film A History of Violence. Leo focuses on Parthiban 'Parthi' Das, a docile cafe owner who becomes a local hero due to an act of violence. This act also puts him on the radar of a drug cartel which believes that he was once a part of them.
The film is the second collaboration between Lokesh Kanagaraj and Thalapathy Vijay after the 2021 superhit film Master. It also marks the debut of Sanjay Dutt into the Tamil film industry. The film features Thalapathy Vijay, Trisha Krishnan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Priya Anand, and Mysskin in significant roles.
The film was released in theatres worldwide on October 19 in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada.
