After crossing the 300 crores mark, Leo will be aiming to beat Jailer’s 345 crores and become the second highest net grosser for Kollywood.
Meanwhile, yesterday, Lokesh Kanagaraj suffered injuries on his leg while taking part in a promo event of Leo in Palakkad. He arrived at the movie hall, and by then, a massive crowd of well-wishers had already gathered to have a glimpse of the director.
He was in the state for the promotion of the film at Palakkad, Thrissur, and Kochi and had planned to return later in the day. But his plans went awry after the fans turned delirious and made a mad rush to come close to the director to take selfies, which created a stampede.
