She has previously worked with Vijay in Tamil hits -- ‘Ghilli’, ‘Kuruvi’, ‘Thirupaachi’ and ‘Aathi’.  The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Priya Anand, Sandy, Goutam Vasudev Menon, Arjun and Malayalam actor Mathew Thomas in major roles, apart from Vijay.  Director Lokesh Kanagaraj recently declared that Leo will be a gangster movie. He made it clear that it won't be a part of the movie universe he's creating, though. The Lokesh Cinematic Universe, sometimes known as LCU, debuted with Vikram, which featured characters from Lokesh's 'Kaithi'.
