There has rarely been a Tamil film in recent memory that has generated as much buzz as Thalapathy Vijay's ‘Leo’. Every other film-related event has been inundated with Leo shouts since the film's announcement. The film's fans have been so excited about it that Lokesh Kanagaraj's directorial is on its way to become the biggest opening for a Tamil film in history. ‘Leo’ is expected to gross Rs 100 crore globally on its first day, a record for a Tamil film.

It is also important to note that despite a restricted Hindi release, ‘Leo’ is expected to gross a large amount of money at the box office. To put this in context, ‘Leo's’ Hindi-dubbed version would not be distributed in national multiplex chains because these chains require a theatrically released picture to have an OTT distribution just eight weeks after its theatrical release. However, like previous Tamil films, ‘Leo’ will be released on an OTT platform just four weeks following its theatrical debut.

Through advance reservations for the opening weekend, the Thalapathy Vijay and Trisha starrer has reached Rs 100 crore. As a result, ‘Leo’ is expected to enjoy a record-breaking opening weekend at the box office. If Lokesh Kanagaraj lives up to the enormous expectations of fans, one can only wonder how many more records ‘Leo’ will set and shatter. To begin, the advance booking alone might be considered historic.

Fans have enormous faith in Lokesh Kanagaraj's filmmaking abilities and his ability to display Thalapathy Vijay in all of his magnificence. ‘Jailer’, starring Rajinikanth and Nelson Dilipkumar, is now the largest Tamil opening. Meanwhile, ‘Beast,’ Vijay's greatest opening to date, was released last year. Today, on October 19, it is almost guaranteed that records will be broken and history will be rewritten.

As everyone knows, ‘Leo’ will be Thalapathy Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj's second collaboration after 2021's Master. That film was essential in drawing audiences back to cinemas following the COVID-19 outburst. After ‘Master’, Lokesh delivered a massive hit with Vikram, starring Kamal Haasan. As a result, he has progressed from a filmmaker who directs stars to a beloved celebrity himself.

Fans have been waiting for ‘Leo’ for a long time, so the excitement is understandable. More concerts are also in great demand among fans, and this is not restricted to Tamil Nadu. In the adjacent states of Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana, the ‘Leo’ buzz is consistently positive.
