'Thalapathy' Vijay's Leo is currently in its second schedule in Chennai and production is progressing at a steady pace after a major leg of filming was wrapped up last month in Kashmir. The film being directed by blockbuster filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj features an ensemble supporting cast that also includes Mansoor Ali Khan, who will be seen in a pivotal role in the upcoming mass action thriller. The veteran actor earlier today took part in the launch of his next film, starring Bigg Boss Tamil season 5 stars Amir and Pavni Reddy, in the lead roles, where he was asked about his role in Vijay's Leo.
Addressing media persons at the launch of Amir and Pavni Reddy's new film, Mansoor Ali Khan stated that he is yet to join the Leo shoot and begin filming his portions. Talking about having worked in nearly 10 films with Vijay to date, the veteran actor informed how Deva during the early stages of the Tamil superstar's career was a big venture and expressed his happiness at collaborating with the actor once again in Leo. Prior to the reveal of Leo being the title of the Vijay-starrer, Mansoor Ali Khan was announced officially to be a part of the cast of the film by producer Lalit Kumar's 7 Screen Studio banner, with fans rejoicing at the news since Lokesh Kanagaraj had in earlier interviews over the years stated that he was initially the first choice to play the lead role in his 2019 blockbuster, Kaithi, with the part eventually going to Karthi.
Leo will see Vijay sharing screen space with not only Mansoor Ali Khan, but also actress Trisha Krishnan after a gap of 15 years when they last starred in the 2008 film, Kuruvi. The film also stars Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt as the antagonist, while 'Action King' Arjun, Gautham Menon, Mysskin, Priya Anand, choreographer Sandy master, among others will be seen in key roles, with music being composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
