Leo is a movie with a narrative that has a template, and the tale normally unfolds in the movie. The director in a recent interview revealed that he divided the film into its first, second, and third acts. He also claimed that when he released the trailer, he did so with the intention of clearly telling the audience what the story is about.

Comparing Leo with Vikram, he said the latter had a non-linear storyline, who also explained the differences between the two films. He further said that the story of Leo is not brand-new in Tamil cinema and that many people will be familiar with it. He has only adapted it differently to suit his personal style of story telling.

Following the release of the trailer a few days ago, many fans conjectured that Vijay's role would be similar to that of the vintage Tamil film Vetri Vizha. And after the director's clarification that Leo is a template story, fans are convinced that while the plot may not be new, the way the movie is portrayed will be.
