Lokesh Kanagaraj has been one of the most successful filmmakers in the Tamil film industry. He has given box office hits like Kaithi, Master, Vikram etc. And now, he is making headlines for his recent release Leo. Starring Thalapathy Vijay, Trisha Krishnan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, Gautham Menon, Mysskin, and Priya Anand in lead, Leo, which has been an action thriller, has been one of the most anticipated releases of the year and had released in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi languages.

Leo has witnessed an impressive response in advance booking for the first day and there have been speculations about the first day collection of the movie. To note, Leo has opened to an average response from the audience. In fact, fans have taken to social media to express disappointment towards the average storyline and climax along with poor CGI.

Amid this, Leo has witnessed a decent start in Karnataka. According to a report published in Sacnilk, Leo (Kannada) is likely to mint Rs 14.50 crores on its first day in Karnataka. Interestingly, it has failed to beat the opening day collection of Yash's KGF 2 in Karnataka. For the uninitiated, KGF 2 had minted Rs 26.5 crores on the first day. Well, it will be interesting to see how Thalapathy Vijay's Leo will perform in the upcoming days.

Meanwhile, as everyone was eagerly waiting for Leo, there has been a major speculation about whether Leo is a part of LCU (Lokesh Kanagaraj Universe). The rumours came to light after DMK Youth Wing Secretary Udhay Stalin shared the review of the movie on micro-blogging site Twitter (now X) and used the hashtag #LCU. The tweet went viral with fans curious to know if Leo is a standalone film or a part of LCU.

Well, the wait is over and big revelation has been made. Leo is a part of LCU (Lokesh Kanagaraj Universe) and it has been announced in the movie. To note, the first movie of LCU happened to be Kaithi which was released in 2019 which was followed by Kamal Haasan starrer Vikram. And now Leo is the third entry in LCU.
