Nelson Dilipkumar wants to cast Shah Rukh Khan, Mammootty, and Mahesh Babu with Thalapathy Vijay if he had done Lokesh Kanagaraj's 'Leo'

Lokesh Kanagaraj ’s ‘ Leo ’, starring Thalapathy Vijay , became one of the highest-grossing films of 2023. In a recent award ceremony, ‘Jailer’ director Nelson Dilipkumar was asked to name three actors to cast alongside Vijay in ‘Leo’ if he had done the film. In return, Nelson mentioned the names of three big shots in the Indian film industry.

In such a hypothetical situation where he would have done ‘Leo’, the director wishes to cast King Khan Shah Rukh, Superstar Mammootty , and Tollywood’s Prince Mahesh Babu as Vijay’s friends. At the same time, he wanted to cast Nayanthara and Alia Bhatt as the heroines in the film.

‘Leo’ featured Trisha Krishnan, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Sanjay Dutt, and more in key roles. Lokesh Kanagaraj is busy with his next project ‘Coolie’ with Rajinikanth .

After ‘Leo’, Thalapathy Vijay is gearing up for the release of his latest project ‘GOAT’ with Venkat Prabhu. This is expected to be in theaters on September 5. There is speculation about ‘Thalapathy 69’, which will be the last film of the actor as he is entering politics.
