There's no stopping the buzz surrounding 'Thalapathy' Vijay's Leo on social media as fans continue to express their excitement in anticipation of the Tamil superstar's next big film. Touted to be a gangster venture, the film being directed by blockbuster filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj has several big names in the star cast, with filming currently progressing in Chennai after the team wrapped up an intense schedule in Kashmir in March. With a new schedule on Leo kicking off last week, it has now been revealed that popular Malayalam actress Santhi Mayadevi has now come on board the Vijay-starrer, which will open in cinemas on October 19. 

Santhi Mayadevi, who is best known for her role as advocate Renuka in the 2021 Malayalam crime thriller film Drishyam 2: The Resumption, announced the news of joining Leo on Sunday. The actress posted a picture of herself with director Lokesh Kanagaraj on her Instagram page revealing that she is now acting in the Vijay-starrer, which is being produced under S S Lalit Kumar's 7 Screen Studio banner. Santhi Mayadevi, who is also a part of Mohanlal's upcoming Malayalam film, Ram: Part 1, is also an advocate by profession and a resident of Ernakulam in Kerala where she is living with her husband Shiju Rajasekharan and their young daughter. Check out Santhi's Insta post about Leo below:

Vijay's Leo includes a packed cast starting with Trisha, who is pairing with the superstar 15 years after they worked in films Ghilli (2004), Thirupaachi (2005), Aathi (2006), and Kuruvi (2008). The film also features Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt as the antagonist, while 'Action King' Arjun, Mysskin, Gautham Menon, Priya Anand, Sandy master, Malayalam actor Mathew Thomas among others will be seen in pivotal roles, with music being composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Leo is slated to come out ahead of Ayudha pooja in October and the week-long holidays will no doubt be a big advantage for the makers to draw bigger audiences to theatres.
