It’s a year of Tamil directors, and the Kollywood industry as a whole is shining like a bright star. First, it was Nelson who delivered a massive 600-crore blockbuster with Rajinikanth in the form of Jailer. Then, Atlee collaborated with Shah Rukh Khan to give Jawan, which made him the first Tamil director to enter the 1000-crore club globally. Now, it’s party time for director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is set to deliver a much bigger blockbuster with Thalapathy Vijay by surpassing his previous best, Vikram.
Released on Thursday, Leo opened to mixed reviews from critics, but that didn’t stop it from raking in record-breaking numbers. On the opening day, the film earned 148.50 crores gross at the worldwide box office, as per an official update shared by the makers. It is the biggest-ever start for a Tamil film, and 2.0’s 110 crores gross has been left far behind.
