Now that the actor will also be seen in Leo, Mansoor opened up about reuniting with Vijay, with whom he has shared screen space in several films including the latter’s debut Naalaiya Theerapu (1992). Recalling the time when Vijay had kicked off his career, Mansoor said, “To be frank, back then for one film I was paid Rs 4 lakhs, and Vijay was paid only 2 lakhs. He has come from that stage because of his effort. He further went on to talk about the sincerity and honesty that Vijay has had towards his work, as he added, “For him, it’s all cinema. He shoots 40 takes for a dance step. If it had been me, I would dance twice and would have left saying that’s all I can do. But Vijay is spending so much time on a single shot. They have sculpted Leo scene by scene.”

Furthermore, in the same interview, Mansoor also gave us a glimpse about Anurag Kashyap’s role in the movie wherein it is revealed that the filmmaker-actor will be appearing between gun shots.

Mansoor Ali Khan and Thalapathy Vijay has acted in several films together including Sendhorapandi, Minsara Kanna, Deva, among others.
