Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film is centered on a mild-mannered cafe owner who fends off a gang of thugs. The cafe owner becomes a local hero due to this act of bravery but also the target of a drug cartel that claims he was once a part of them.
The film features Thalapathy Vijay, Trisha Krishnan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, and Anurag Kashyap in significant roles. Leo was released in theatres worldwide on October 19 in 2D and IMAX formats in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the film clashed with Nandamuri Balakrishna's Bhagavanth Kesari.
