Thalapathy Vijay's Leo, co-written and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj is a phenomenon irrespective of the mixed response to it at the box office. This action-thriller made a roaring business and revenue even before it hit the screens worldwide in Telugu and Tamil on October 19 for Dussehra.

Leo marks the collaboration of Vijay and Trisha as an onscreen pair after 14 years, and also the reunion of Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj after Master. The movie's theatrical trailer has amplified it several times, making the fans impatient for the release day.

Unusual Craze For Vijay's LEO In Kerala

As soon as the advance bookings opened in Kerala, tickets sold out like hotcakes for Thalapathy Vijay-Lokesh Kanagaraj's Leo, in a record manner for the first time ever in the history of the Kerala box office. Leo is the only non-Malayalam film to register a tremendous pre-release record in sales, so far. Around 80,0000 plus tickets were sold within one hour of opening the advance bookings for day one. Trade analysts opined this a rare feat.

Leo Kerala Box Office Sensational Records

Leo opened to a humongous response and collection all over the Kerala pocket and stood solid despite dividing talk in its second weekend as well. The movie is expected to make somewhere between Rs 6 Crore and Rs 6.25 Crore in the second weekend (Friday-Sunday).
