Kashmir quake: Upcoming Tamil action-thriller Leo, starring actor Thalapathy Vijay is one of the most anticipated films. The team is stationed in Kashmir currently, shooting at breakneck speed over the last few weeks. On Tuesday, an earthquake of 6.5 magnitude rocked Afghanistan and its impact was felt across some parts of north India including Jammu and Kashmir.
As the tremor was felt in Kashmir, Seven Screen Studios, makers of Leo, tweeted to inform that everyone is safe. The team shared a Vadivelu GIF from the Tamil film Chandramukhi. They wrote, “We are safe nanba! – Team #LEO (sic).”
Going by the GIF, it is evident that the team felt the impact of the tremor.
Vijay reunites with Lokesh
Leo will see the reunion of Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj after Master. Tipped to be another gangster film laced with high action, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Mysskin, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Arjun, and Priya Anand among others.
Some time back, actor Sanjay Dutt, who plays the prime antagonist, joined the sets. This is his first Tamil film and will be his next major south release after last year’s KGF: Chapter 2. The team is expected to complete the Kashmir schedule by April and return to Chennai for a short break. A massive airport set is being erected in Hyderabad for the next schedule.
A gangster film
Leo director Lokesh Kanagaraj has already confirmed that Leo is a gangster film. However, he clarified that it won’t be a part of the film universe he’s building. Popularly called LCU – Lokesh Cinematic Universe began with Vikram which had a crossover of characters from Lokesh’s Kaithi.
It is after completing Leo that Lokesh will begin work on Kaithi 2 with Karthi. In the prequel, Karthi played a prisoner on parole to meet his daughter he has never seen. When he crosses paths with a cop, he’s forced to join forces with him and fight the drug lords who are after a cocaine consignment in police custody.
The entire story unfolds in a single night within a span of four hours. He also has the next part of Vikram with Kamal Haasan in the lead.
