Fasten your seatbelts. All crazy Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) fans, you are in for a “sweet” treat. After the grand success of “Varisu,” Thalapathy Vijay is ready to rock his fans with his new film, “LEO- Bloody Sweet.” The film will be directed by the famous Lokesh Kanagaraj, and under the Banner of & Screen Studio, the film will be produced by SS Lalit Kumar. There are speculations that Leo is going to be the most powerful man in LCU; however, we still wait for the official confirmation. “LEO- Bloody Sweet” has a few strong connections with the previous films “Kaithi” and “Vikram.” Fans are going crazy over Vijay’s look, and the visuals are promising. Can we expect another blockbuster from the superstar of Tamil cinema? Only time will say. The recently launched trailer clearly shows what we can expect from the film. Undoubtedly, this is an action thriller, but we expect a very sweet touch to it too. Why? We shall explain it to you soon. However, without much delay, let’s dive into the facts we need to know before “LEO- Bloody Sweet” hits theaters.
‘LEO – Bloody Sweet’ Plot
The film is set in the picturesque town of Kashmir. We see visuals of different chocolates made in a chocolate factory. Ring a bell? Of course, we cannot miss the context of a bakery in “Kaithi.” The rumor that was buzzing among LCU fans solidifies as the trailer surfaces. Fans found similarities between Lakesh Kanagaraj’s film “Kaithi” (2019). The “Bloody Sweet” track further strengthens the speculations, even though there has been no official confirmation yet. In “Kaithi,” Karthi Dilli worked in a bakery for three years while in prison. In “LEO- Bloody Sweet,” we see Vijay owning a chocolate manufacturing set-up. Thus, fans are concluding that the outlet might be the “bakery” in question for LCU; Adaikalam, who works for the real ghost druglord, recognizes Dilli, but how, we do not know.
The soul-soothing visuals of chocolate make us feel the calm before the storm. The trailer will juggle two opposite emotions soon. The calmness now changes to the suspense as the vivid images of the thrill come into the picture. Along with making chocolates, Vijay is seen simultaneously wielding weapons. Vijay checks the quality of cocoa beans and the consistency of chocolate while keeping a keen eye on the weapon. Soon, the trailer takes us to a trail of cars on the hills. Undoubtedly, we get the feeling that we are in for some delicious action and thrills.
However, the chocolate-making takes us back to “Vikram,” starring Kamal Hassan. Why? As the “Varisu” star stylishly makes a variety of chocolates in a chocolate factory-like place, similar visuals were in Kamal Hassan’s promo for “Vikram.” Kamal Hassan was seen preparing a variety of dishes. We also see that cocaine-producing coffee and chocolate-producing cocoa are often cultivated in the same place. So, even though clear connections have been established with LCU, we are yet to know how expensive these sweet treats are going to be.
‘LEO – Bloody Sweet’ Cast
There is hardly any introduction needed for Thalapaty Vijay. He is a Tamil superstar who has made commendable contributions to pan-Indian cinema. Vijay was born into a film family; his father is S. A. Chandrasekar, the famous Tamil film director, producer, and writer. Vijay began acting at an early age and, since then, has made his position permanent in the hearts of his audiences. People are crazy fans of Vijay, and the actor dedicatedly made films that will entertain audiences for decades. He began his acting career as a child artist when he was 10 years old in “Vetri” (1984). He acted in several other films as a child artist, including “Kudumbam” (1984), “Naan Sigappu Manithan” (1985), “Vasantha Raagam” (1986), “Sattam Oru Vilayattu” (1987), and “Ithu Engal Neethi” (1988). His first film as a lead actor was “Naalaiya Theerpu” (1992). It was produced by his mother, Shoba Chandrashekhar; however, it failed at the box office. Soon after, he started to create box office successes with “Sendhoorapandi” (1993) and “Rasigan” (1994). In the mid-1990s, Vijay was cast in romantic films and became the most popular romantic hero with successful films including “Deva,” “Vishnu,” “Rajavin Parvaiyile,” “Chandralekha,” “Coimbatore Mappillai,” and “Poove Unakkaga.” Vijay has been a part of cult classic films like “Thulladha Manamum Thullum” (1999). It ran in theaters for more than 200 days. He has made several films since the 2000s. Last year, his film “Beast” created a massive sensation. It is fair to say that fans are eagerly waiting for the new film.
“LEO- Bloody Sweet” will also be the Tamil debut of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt. Dutt is a popular actor who has his own niche audience. Along with him, the film will be marked by the presence of Trisha, Arjun Sarja, Priya Anand, Mansoor Ali Khan, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Mysskin.
