Sanjay Dutt in Leo

Sanjay Dutt will be marking his Tamil film debut with Vijay-starrer Leo directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. On the superstar's birthday on Saturday, the makers treated fans with Dutt's first look from the film and introduced his character. On Saturday, writer-director Lokesh Kanagraj took to Twitter and shared the first look video and wrote, "Meet #AntonyDas A small gift from all of us to you @duttsanjay sir! It was indeed a pleasure to work with you! #HappyBirthdaySanjayDutt #Leo. The clip showcases Sanjay as Antony Das making his way through a huge gathering followed by a close look at the actor, who is seen in a rugged look with a salt and pepper look.





The upcoming project marks a reunion between Vijay and Kanagaraj after the 2021 blockbuster 'Master'. A month ago on Vijay's birthday, the filmmaker shared the first-look poster of the lead actor. In the poster, Vijay can be seen giving a ferocious expression as he uses a hammer to hit a living being, which is not clearly visible in the poster. Behind Vijay is a wolf, looking equally ferocious. 

The film started shooting earlier this year. It is produced by S S Lalit Kumar and co-produced by Jagadish Palanisamy. The plot details of the movie have been kept under wraps. However, there are speculations that the movie is part of Kanagaraj's 'Lokesh Cinematic Universe', which also includes Karthi-led 'Kaithi' and 'Vikram', headlined by cinema veteran Kamal Haasan.

In March, the team of Leo dropped a video saluting the spirit of the team who shot the film in difficult conditions.

"Massive respect to the cast and crew of #LEO who worked really hard no matter what, in the process of entertaining people," wrote Lokesh Kanagaraj sharing the video.

'Thalalathy 67' is truly a special project as it marks the third collaboration of Thalapathy Vijay sir and 7 Screen Studio after giving two blockbusters, Master and Varisu. The project also marks the reunion of Thalapathy Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj, after the massive success in their previous outing - ‘Master’.

7 Screen Studio's 'Thalalathy 67' will be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film will star, Thalapathy Vijay sir, Sanjay Dutt and Trisha Krishnan. Anurag Kashyaon will also be seen in a pivotal role in the film. He joined the team only last month. The film is produced by SS Lalit Kumar.
