Lokesh Kanagaraj has announced the wrap of the Kashmir schedule of his upcoming Thalapathy Vijay-starrer Leo with a behind-the-scenes video of the film’s crew working relentlessly in tough weather conditions.
"Massive respect to the cast and crew of #LEO who worked really hard no matter what, in the process of entertaining people. This tribute is for you" #TheCrewBehindLEO #KashmirScheduleWrap," he wrote alongside the video on Twitter.
The video includes anecdotes from crew members on the challenges they face during the shoot. They mention that night shoots were the hardest part as the temperature dropped to -2 degrees Celsius at times.
The video also shows us a few shots of Kashmir's Aru Valley, where some scenes were shot. It also features Vijay interacting with locals of the area and driving a jeep. The local police and military personnel responsible for the entire team's security were also featured in the video.
According to the team's production managers, language was a barrier during the shoot as most of the local residents did not understand Hindi or English.
Leo stars Sanjay Dutt, Trisha, Arjun, Mansoor Ali Khan, Priya Anand, Sandy Master and Mathew Thomas. It is expected to be a part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, which includes hit films like Vikram and Kaithi. It will be Vijay’s 67th film.
