Sathees Kumar has been a frequent collaborator of Lokesh Kanagaraj and worked on all his four films, Maanagaram (2017), Kaithi (2019), Master (2021), and Vikram (2023), and the duo is once again set to delight audiences with their work in Vijay's Leo, which is scheduled for an October 19 worldwide theatrical release. Apart from associating with Lokesh Kanagaraj, Sathees has also garnered praise for his work in several other notable Tamil films like OK Kanmani (2015), Joker (2016), 8 Thottakkal (2016), Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 (2017), Savarakathi (2018), and Mercury (2018). It is to be noted that Sathees had a special surprise birthday thrown for him on the sets of Master as pictures showed Vijay feeding him some cake, with Lokesh Kanagaraj, Vijay Sethupathi, and the rest of the crew joining in on the celebrations.
Coming back to Leo, the film marks the second time Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj have joined hands after Master, and expectations are huge for them to deliver a cracker of an entertainer. The film produced by S. S. Lalit Kumar's 7 Screen Studio banner also stars Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, Mansoor Ali Khan, Mysskin, Gautham Menon, Priya Anand, Sandy master, and Mathew Thomas among others, and will feature music by 'Rockstar' Anirudh Ravichander.
