As Leo Hits Theatres, Vijay Fans In Trichy Take Out Motorbike Rallies With Actor's Posters

Thalapathy Vijay-starrer Leo was released on Thursday. Within a day, the film has emerged to be the record smasher. The action thriller has reportedly grossed over Rs 140 crore on its first day. Given the success and thunderous response by the critics as well as the audience, Leo is expected to outshine all the films released this year. However, fans have already begun the celebrations as they are bursting crackers, dancing and performing pujas for the success of the film.

In southern states, the film releases are no less than a festival. Now, with the release of the film Leo, people can’t keep calm as they have come out on the roads to express their excitement. Filled with enthusiasm and love for the actor, fans have flooded the social media platforms with videos and pictures of the celebrations and rallies being carried out in the southern states. On viral videos, fans in Trichy can be seen dancing, bursting crackers and taking out motorbike rallies with Vijay’s posters in their hands.

The viral visuals on the internet show fans celebrating the release of the Vijay-starrer film outside the theatres. They are seemingly elated after watching the movie. A sea of fans, reportedly, thronged to cinema halls with music and a full setup.

Helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Leo, also features Sanjay Dutt, Trisha Krishnan and Arjun Sarja in the lead. The film marks another collaboration between Vijay and Kanagaraj after the 2021 released Master. The music of Leo is composed by Anirudh Ravichander who is receiving immense praise for his work in films like Jailer and the recently released blockbuster film Jawaan.

Given the anticipation and excitement around the film, the makers filed a petition before the Madras High Court to allow the film to be screened as early as 4 a.m. across Tamil Nadu. However, the court refrained from giving the permission. The film has been allowed early morning shows in states including Kerala and Karnataka.
