More recently, Lokesh Kanagaraj found himself in the spotlight following Sanjay Dutt’s comment about being underutilized in Thalapathy Vijay’s film, ‘Leo’. Now, the director has responded to Sanjay Dutt’s critique.
Lokesh Kanagaraj replies to Sanjay Dutt’s comment
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lokesh Kanagaraj shared, “Sanjay Dhar called me following that occasion. He mentioned, ‘I made a rather humorous remark, but it became uncomfortable when people edited and posted it on social media.’ I simply reassured him, ‘No worries, sir.’
The director went on to say, “You understand, I’m not a prodigy or an exceptional movie maker who wouldn’t craft stories that outshine other characters. I’ve made countless mistakes in my films, and I’m still growing. It’s likely that I’ll work with Sanjay Dutt sir again, and hopefully, I can make amends.
Sanjay Dutt about his role in Leo
As a devoted admirer, let me share some exciting news: Sanjay Dutt graced the teaser launch of KD – The Devil not long ago. During his Q&A session with the press, he opened up about his experience in Tamil cinema. Reflecting on his collaboration with Thalapathy Vijay, he expressed fondness for working alongside him. However, a certain individual named Lokesh has left him somewhat agitated because he felt underutilized and overlooked for a substantial role, ultimately feeling that his talents were not fully exploited in the project.
Discussing the Tamil action thriller titled “Leo,” which hit the screens on October 19, 2023, stars Thalapathy Vijay in the main role. This film shares some similarities with the American action movie, A History of Violence, and follows the storyline of Parthiban, a middle-aged coffee shop owner who cohabits with his wife and children.
Following a momentous day at his store, the man unexpectedly finds himself in headlines due to a self-defense incident, yet fresh troubles emerge. Given his resemblance to an ex-gangster named Leo, antagonists enter his life, attempting to coerce him back into criminal activities.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next film
Lokesh Kanagaraj will be directing the upcoming film “Coolie,” starring Rajinikanth. This high-octane, action-filled movie is set in a bustling harbor environment, focusing on the lives of workers.
