Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) is a shared universe of Tamil action thriller films created by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The first feature of the universe, Kaithi, was released in 2019, and the second installment, Vikram, was released on June 3, 2022. Leo, an upcoming film starring Thalapathy Vijay, is now officially part of the LCU. The LCU follows an elaborate conflict between law enforcement officers and vigilantes in South India who are at war against a dangerously powerful drug cartel led by crime lord ‘Rolex’ . The franchise is known for its innovative storytelling techniques and cinematic visuals. Although Leo has not been confirmed by the makers to be a part of LCU, Udhyanidhi Stalin, who is an actor, producer, and distributor, dropped a noticeable hint about the film belonging to LCU after watching it. The director, Lokesh Kanagaraj, responded to the hint by saying that fans would find out only once they watch the film. The LCU is possible because of the actors and producers support.
