Leo, an action thriller, also stars arjun Sarja, Gautham menon, Mysskin and priya anand in pivotal roles. Rathna Kumar and Deeraj Vaidy co-wrote the script with lokesh Kanagaraj. The music for the film has been scored by anirudh ravichander and its cinematography and editing have been helmed by Manoj Paramahamsa and Philomin Raj, respectively.
Meanwhile review of Leo read, “Thalapathy Vijay’s performance is easily one of the highpoints of Leo. trisha gets a decent screen time, but her character doesn’t add much value to the story. Filmmaker gautham Vasudev menon has given an effortless performance. On the other hand, sanjay dutt is unfortunately wasted in the film. His charisma seems to be missing and his character looks weak in front of Vijay’s character in the film.”
Sharing the box office figures on his official X account, manobala wrote: “Overseas markets have started to crash, this is unusual for a lokesh kanagaraj film. Normally the director film increase day by day, but in Leo it goes down each passing day. Jailer in first 4 days posted a fantastic Rs 302.89 cr across the world.”
