‘Thalapathy’ Vijay’s upcoming action entertainer Leo is one of the most anticipated Kollywood movies of the year. This project has created massive expectations, especially considering Lokesh Kanagaraj’s unbeaten run at the box-office. If the film gets a decent talk, trade experts estimate Leo to beat Lokesh’s previous blockbuster, Vikram.
Meanwhile, the movie has encountered a big problem. Leo is a pan-India project with director Lokesh Kanagaraj planning to capture the north Indian market as well. But it looks like this time Leo will have to be content with just the south Indian and overseas markets along with limited north theatres’ collections as it is not getting a Hindi release.
Hindi national multiplexes have made a deal that any film can be released in multiplexes only if they are streaming in OTT after 8 weeks. But, Leo is said to have made an early OTT deal where it will be available on OTT 4 weeks release. Hence, the film is not releasing in multiplexes and will be available only in Hindi single screens.
Leo is also a second collaboration between Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj after Master. The film further features Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, Mysskin, Gautam Vasudev Menon, and Sandy in key roles with Anirudh Ravichander composing the tunes.
