It’s finally a win for Thalapathy Vijay in the Hindi market! The actor has been waiting for a long to unleash his potential and finally, it has happened with his latest release, Leo, doing surprisingly well in the Hindi dubbed version and that too, despite multiple Bollywood films running in theatres. Keep reading to know where it stands after first 11 days!
Vijay has always been a known face in the Hindi belt, all thanks to the popularity of his Hindi dubbed films on the small screen. In theatrical run, however, the actor failed in leaving any impact. But things have now drastically changed as he has finally tasted a success in the form of his latest big release, which is aiming to achieve some feats before wrapping up the lifetime run.
It was quite unfortunate that the makers of Leo didn’t promote the film in the Hindi belt as they expected negligible numbers. Another reason could be that since National Cinema Chains were not ready to screen the Hindi dubbed version, the makers didn’t feel any need to target the Hindi belt audience. In reality, it could be now clearly seen that there was a genuine interest on the ground level and audience are flocking theatres without even any promotional activity from the makers’ side.
