Director Lokesh Kanagaraj said that Vijay did not agree to cast a dupe in Leo. Lokesh also said that Vijay did it without the help of a dupe despite the many risky conflicts. The director’s revelation was in an interview given to a YouTube channel.
‘If Vijay Annan had to stay in his comfort zone, I would not have been called to do this film. He wanted to do something that had never been seen before. I doubted whether he would do this. I don’t know if Vijay Annan will do a dark cream movie like Leo. Well done on this one. We have been discussing this story for three years. This is his favorite film.
He insisted that no dupe be used for him in the film. On the day of Puja, the caravan was called and told regarding this. He said that no matter how dangerous the scene may be, it can be done. If I can’t, I’ll tell you, insisting not to think regarding the dupe until then. Despite the Fate Masters saying no, he refused. He reminded us that even if he showed someone else’s K instead of his, the fans would find out. Even on location, he does cardio daily. Earlier it was said that if there is a shirt-removal scene, 30 days notice should be given. 40 minutes of cardio will do. Pushup and pullup will be taken. Eats little food.
It was a mutual decision to skip the audio launch even though the stage work has started. There were a total of six thousand tickets. We wanted 12,000 tickets alone. About 70,000 tickets were demanded from outside. The decision was to give a free pass. But since it was free, you can’t say who should come and who should. The audio launch was abandoned to avoid congestion. Leo and Vijay don’t seem to want an audio launch and the audience knows that. The problem is that the crew of the film cannot be brought on stage, but it is thought that it can be done at the success meet.
The length of the movie is two and three quarter hours. Similarly, two and three quarter minutes have been given to the trailer. I wanted to show whatever is in the movie in the trailer. Like Kethi and Vikram, Leo will have a small biryani scene. Leo LCU Let people see the film and understand whether it is an adaptation of History of Violence. The experience you get in the theater should not be lost’, said Lokesh.
