Thalapathy Vijay's LEO is part of LCU

Thalapathy Vijay's movie, LEO, has generated curiosity about whether it's part of Lokesh's cinematic universe (LCU). This question has been on everyone's minds since the LEO announcement. People on social media have been speculating about possible connections between LEO and LCU since the film teaser was released.

Some sources suggested that LEO might not be a part of LCU. However, recent developments have fueled rumors that it is indeed connected. Kamal Haasan's movie, Vikram, is now available for free on an OTT platform, and people are wondering if this relates to LEO in some way. Vikram is currently streaming on Disney Hotstar in five languages without a paywall, and this move has intensified speculation about its storyline overlapping with Thalapathy Vijay's LEO.

The reason for making Vikram free to watch on the platform remains unknown. The anticipation regarding whether Leo is part of LCU continues to grow, as the team has not provided a clear answer. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj previously hinted at an LCU connection in Vikram before its release, surprising everyone. Now, the question remains: Is LEO part of LCU, and how is the free streaming of Vikram related to it?

In Vikram, Lokesh tells the story of a retired spy known as Ghost, portrayed by Kamal. Vikram, a legendary figure in the world of espionage, is forced to return to the field when his son is killed by a drug cartel. He embarks on a mission to eradicate drug-related issues and teams up with his former spy colleagues to fulfill his son's dream of creating a drug-free society.

Apart from Kamal, Vikram features supporting roles played by Vijay Sethupathi, Fahadh Faasil, Narain, and Kalidas Jayaram. There's also a possibility that characters from Vikram could make an appearance in LEO, hinting at a potential connection between the two films.
