If Nelson Dilipkumar had directed Lokesh Kanagaraj’s “Leo,” he would have cast Mahesh Babu, Mammootty, and Shah Rukh Khan with Thalapathy Vijay

Thalapathy Vijay starred in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s “Leo,” which went on to become one of the highest-grossing movies of 2023. During a recent awards event, Nelson Dilipkumar, the director of “Jailer,” was asked to suggest three actors who he would have placed with Vijay in “Leo” if he had directed the movie. Nelson gave the names of three influential figures in the Indian film business in exchange.

If King Khan had been cast in this hypothetical scenario, where he would have played “Leo,” the director would have liked it. Vijay’s buddies include Shah Rukh, Superstar Mammootty, and Prince Mahesh Babu from Tollywood.He also intended for Nayanthara and Alia Bhatt to play the movie’s heroines.
In pivotal parts in “Leo” were Trisha Krishnan, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Sanjay Dutt, and others. With Rajinikanth, Lokesh Kanagaraj is working on his next project, “Coolie.”

Following “Leo,” Thalapathy Vijay is getting up for the release of “GOAT,” his most recent collaboration with Venkat Prabhu. On September 5, this is anticipated to open in cinemas. There are rumors that “Thalapathy 69″—the actor’s last movie before he enters politics—will be released.
