Lokesh Kanagaraj on controversies surrounding ‘Leo’

A Major Setback for LEO’s US Release

In an unexpected turn of events, the much-anticipated IMAX premiere shows for the movie LEO, starring Thalapathy Vijay, have been cancelled across the United States. The decision was made due to the vandalism across theatres in U.S of IMAX copies in time for the scheduled premieres on October 22.

Anticipation Tainted by Cancellation

LEO, released in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, had planned to have over 1,000 locations for its US release. The film had already sold more than 41,000 tickets in advance, generating a palpable buzz among movie enthusiasts. This unexpected cancellation has left fans disappointed, as they were awaiting the movie’s IMAX screening

Vijay-starrer Leo is one of his most awaited films this year. In order to make a grand movie-watching experience for fans, Seven Screen Studios Production filed a petition before the Madras High Court requesting to allow the film to be screened at 4 am on the first day of the film’s release in Tamil Nadu.

Lokesh talks about the recent incident at Rohini Theatre

When asked about the recent incident that took place at Rohini Theatre, where fans had wrecked the seats of the theatre into shambles during the trailer screening of Leo, in the same press meet, Lokesh Kanagaraj reacted to the situation. He said that of course, something like that should never have occurred. Moreover, he spoke about how a trailer should be censored and the trailer that was shown in the theatre was just someone taking a YouTube link and playing it to their own volition, and the makers didn’t have any sort of control over it.

Leo starring Thalapathy Vijay is set to hit the screens in just a matter of a few hours. The film which has been the most anticipated release of this year is surely going to set fire to screens and will most likely be celebrated like a festival in theatres on October 19.
