Lokesh has put together a dream star cast for Leo, which he described as '100 per cent Lokesh Kanagaraj movie'.

But, with the phenomenal success of Vikram, starring Kamal Haasan, now he enjoys the freedom to do what he wants.
Besides Vijay, the ensemble cast includes Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, Priya Anand, Mysskin, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mansoor Ali Khan, Sandy Master and Mathew Thomas among others. He has also roped in a few popular YouTubers for cameo appearances . Just a day before the film crew completed the schedule, Kashmir was struck by earthquake tremors leaving everyone in shock. However, all the cast and crew members were reported to be safe.
Leo marks Lokesh's second collaboration with Vijay after Master. And this film is touted to further expand the cinematic universe of drug lords and heroic spies of Lokesh.
