Further intriguing the audience, the filmmaker entertained inquiries about the possibility of a sequel to ‘Leo.’ Responding candidly, Kanagaraj admitted not having contemplated ‘Leo 2’ yet but expressed openness to the prospect amid his ongoing commitments, including ‘Thalaivar171,’ ‘Kaithi 2,’ and more. Additionally, he expressed admiration for working with Thalapathy Vijay, leaving fans hopeful for potential future collaborations.
