It has only been 2 days since the trailer release of
Thalapathy Vijay
’s latest film
Leo
: Bloody Sweet and it has majorly impacted the advance booking of the film in the United Kingdom, where the advance booking opened more than a month ago. The film is still 12 days away from release and it has already beaten the likes of Shah Rukh Khan’s
Jawan
and
Pathaan
to become the highest grossing Day 1 collection in the territory.
Couple of days ago, Leo was on third rank with 2,73,170 pounds for its opening day, tracking behind Jawan which made 307000 pounds and Pathaan which minted 319000 pounds. But last night Vijay has beaten both Shah Rukh Khan films to reach number one position. It has sold about 30000 tickets and has collected 320480 pounds ( Rs 3.26 crore) and as the release date comes closer the number will see a huge spike.
The 2-minute 43-second trailer which was released on 5th October offers a glimpse into the film's narrative, showcasing
Lokesh Kanagaraj
's directorial prowess in crafting intense action sequences and Vijay doing what he does best: ACTION. Vijay will be seen playing a double role in the film, while
Lokesh
has still kept the details of his second character a secret.
The buzz surrounding 'Leo' is fueled by its star-studded cast, including Thalapathy Vijay, Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Gautam Vasudev Menon, and Anurag Kashyap, as well as the reunion of Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj after their previous hit, 'Master.' Moreover, it is part of Lokesh's Cinematic Universe, promising more exciting projects in the future, such as Karthi's 'Kaithi' and Kamal Haasan's 'Vikram.' In fact at a press conference
Gautam Vasudev Menon
called the film mind blowing, he added that he saw the scenes which he had to dub and they have come out really well.
