Sanjay Dutt, the veteran Bollywood actor, has recently opened up about his experience working on Thalapathy Vijay’s Tamil film ‘Leo’. In an exclusive interview, the actor expressed his disappointment with his role in the film, jokingly saying that director Lokesh Kanagaraj “wasted” him. Despite acknowledging that he thoroughly enjoyed working with Vijay, Dutt couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment with the limited screen time he had in the film.
For those who may not be familiar, ‘Leo’ is a Tamil-language action-thriller film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role.

He is very dedicated to his craft, and it shows in his work.”
However, when asked about his role in the film, Dutt’s tone took a slightly more serious turn. “But, I’m angry with Lokesh (Kanagaraj) because he didn’t give me a big role,” he joked. “He wasted me.” Dutt’s comment was likely a tongue-in-cheek remark, but it does highlight the actor’s desire for more substantial screen time in the film.
It’s worth noting that Sanjay Dutt’s appearance in ‘Leo’ was indeed brief, and his role was limited to a few scenes. However, his presence in the film added a level of star power and credibility to the project, which was no doubt a deliberate decision by the filmmakers.

In the interview, he mentioned that he has always been a huge fan of Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth, two of the most iconic actors in the Tamil film industry.
“I have always been a huge fan of Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth,” Dutt said. “They are legends, and I have a lot of respect for them. I have grown up watching their films, and I have always been inspired by their work.”
Sanjay Dutt’s comments about Lokesh Kanagaraj and his role in ‘Leo’ are likely to spark some debate among fans and film enthusiasts. While some may agree with Dutt’s sentiments, others may argue that his brief appearance in the film was still a significant contribution to the project.
Regardless of one’s opinion on the matter, Sanjay Dutt’s enthusiasm and passion for his work are undeniable. His comments about ‘Leo’ and his admiration for the Tamil film industry are a testament to his dedication to his craft and his willingness to explore new opportunities.
