Buzz: Hollywood Inspiration in Leo?

Lokesh Kanagaraj is set to deliver an action-packed extravaganza titled “Leo” starring Thalapathy Vijay. While rumors suggest that the film draws inspiration from David Cronenberg’s 2005 cult classic, “A History of Violence,” it’s important to note that these sources remain unconfirmed.

This project marks the duo’s second collaboration following the success of “Master.” Speculation abounds that “Leo” might be a part of the Lokesh Kanagaraj cinematic universe, which began with Kamal Haasan’s Vikram

However, Lokesh’s reputation as a talented filmmaker suggests that he’s likely put his unique spin on any source material rather than blindly copying Hollywood. Telugu audiences might recall the scene-to-scene remake of “A History of Violence” in “Gaayam 2” back in 2010, starring Jagapathi Babu.

The recently unveiled Telugu poster for “Leo” showcases Vijay in a contemplative pose against a serene snowy mountain backdrop, with the intriguing message, “Keep calm and avoid the battle,” adding depth to the film’s theme.
