Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo is making noise for all the right reasons. Recently, Rajinikanth’s Jailer stormed the worldwide box office, becoming the second highest-grossing Tamil film of all-time, and now, Vijay’s next is said to be the next big thing from the Kollywood industry. As of now, the film is moving in the right direction and has already created history with its advance booking in the UK. Keep reading to know more!
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film also marks Sanjay Dutt‘s debut in Tamil films, and his face-off against Thalapathy Vijay will be a treat to watch on the big screen. Apart from that, Trisha and Vijay are reuniting after 14 years, which is, of course, a special thing in itself. And then, there’s an ever-increasing hype about LCU (Lokesh Kanagaraj Universe). All in all, things have fallen into place for this upcoming action thriller.
While the Indian box office will explode when Leo releases, it’s the craze in the overseas market that has left everyone stunned. Yes, Thalapathy Vijay enjoys a strong fan base in several different international territories, but no one expected the film to break records in advance booking itself.
