Vijay’s Leo triumphs in advance bookings, emerges highest opening Tamil film in the UK
According to the advance purchasing of movie tickets, Vijay’s next Tamil flick Leo is likely to have a tremendous launch in the UK. It has already surpassed Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan I’s advance booking record. After the 2021 smash Master, Vijay and filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj reunite for this film.
Taran Adarsh, a film trade expert, tweeted on Saturday with the latest news on the film’s advance booking statistics, “Vijay: ‘Leo’ creating new benchmarks… #ThalapathyVijay’s #Leo is breaking records all around the world. With 19 days left, the film has now surpassed the previously held *#Tamil* Day 1 #BO crown in #UK, which was held by #AhimsaEntertainment. #Leo is aiming to break the existing single-day profits record for an INDIAN film in #UK, which is currently held by #Pathaan.”
Leo release date
Leo will be released in Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, among other languages. Trisha Krishnan, who previously collaborated with Vijay in Tamil successes Ghilli, Kuruvi, Thirupaachi, and Aathi, also appears in Leo. Sanjay Dutt will make his Tamil film debut in Leo. Arjun Sarja, Mansoor Ali Khan, Priya Anand, Mysskin, and Gautham Vasudev Menon also appear. Anirudh Ravichander, who has created music for Vijay’s successful films such as Kaththi and Master and Beast, has composed music for the film. The audio launch event for Leo, which was slated for September 30, was just cancelled due to “overflowing pass requests and safety constraints.” Seven Screen Studio announced the news in a post on X on Tuesday evening. “Due to an overwhelming number of pass requests and safety concerns, we have decided not to hold the Leo Audio Launch.” In response to the fans’ requests, we will provide frequent updates,” the company stated. The banner also said that the event was cancelled “for no other reason than political pressure.”
Leo’s advertising initiatives
Unique advertising initiatives are being undertaken in conjunction with the film’s highly anticipated release. Bisleri, India’s top packaged drinking water company, has joined forces with Leo. The collaboration will result in Bisleri limited-edition packs featuring the ‘Leo’ coin. These limited-edition packets will be available in Tamil Nadu and Kerala in 500ml, 1 litre, and 2 litre sizes.
