The film ‘Leo’ will be released in theatres on October 19, 2023. It will star Vijay in the lead with Trisha, a pair who will reunite on the big screen after 14 years apart. Sanjay Dutt has also been cast as the film’s antagonist.
Meanwhile, the producer, SS Lalith Kumar, petitioned the Madras High Court to enable the film to be exhibited at 4 a.m. in Tamil Nadu.
He filed a petition by stating, “I submit that, adhering to the regulation, I have submitted a representation letter dated September 15, 2023, to the Principal Secretary to Government, the Hon’ble Minister, and the Hon’ble Chief Minister, requesting permission to screen six shows on the opening day and five shows from October 20th to October 24th, 2023. On the opening day, i.e., October 19, 2023, the first show has been planned to be screened at 4 a.m. to cater for the insatiable desire of the hard-core fans, and from 7 a.m. onwards, October 20, 2023.”
However, the court denied the request, ruling that the film could not be shown at 4 a.m. The court requested that the Tamil Nadu government consider permitting the film to be shown at 7 a.m.
At the same time, producer Lalit Kumar and the Theatre Owners Association’s officers will meet with the Tamil Nadu government this evening. On this basis, the government will respond to the court by tomorrow.
As a result, it is believed that Vijay’s film will be well received on the Kerala side of the border. Tamil Nadu fans are anticipated to flock to Palakkad, Idukki, Kollam, and Thiruvananthapuram to see the film.
The movie is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Sanjay Dutt, Trisha, Priya Anand, and Mansoor Ali Khan in the lead and supporting roles. The music composition and the vocals are by Anirudh Ravichandher, and the first single of the film ‘Naa Ready’ bagged about 101 million views on YouTube.
