With just a few days to go for Leo's release, cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa has penned a note thanking actor Vijay for trusting him once again and called his performance in the film "remarkable."

He called director Lokesh Kanagaraj a genius and a gem of a person whom any DOP would love to work with. He also praised composer Anirudh Ravichander, editor Philomin Raj, Seven Screen Studio, Rathna Kumar and several others.

"Lokesh makes mind-blowing modern action films but his school of thought are classic vintage! He uses vintage songs in his films likewise he loves to shoot in vintage CinemaScope framing and he also wishes to shoot in celluloid film IMAX cameras in his next film!" he added.

Further, he thanked all his assistants, assistant directors, and the entire crew of Leo who helped him make the film possible in this short period.

Apart from Vijay, Leo stars Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Sandy, Trisha, Myskiin, Priya Anand, Mansoor Ali Khan, among others.

The makers of Leo are yet to announce whether the film is a part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe which already consists of Kaithi (2019) and Vikram (2022). The film has cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa and music by Anirudh Ravichander. Philomin Raj handles the editing.

Backed by Lalit Kumar's 7Screen Studio, Leo marks the sophomore collaboration of the actor and filmmaker. The film has cleared censorship formalities and has been given a U/A certificate by CBFC.

Leo hits theatres worldwide on October 19.
