The reason why there's so much excitement about the movie'Leo' isn't just because Vijay is in it' but it's largely because of the director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Lokesh is a well-known filmmaker in India' famous for creating blockbuster films that have earned over 100 crores at the box office. Many young moviegoers admire his storytelling skills.
Lokesh's passion for movies is evident' and he draws inspiration from writers' storyboard artists' and action directors. He believes that filmmaking is a craft that relies on solid techniques. His previous films like Maanagaram' Kaithi' Master' and Vikram have all been action-packed hits' breaking box office records.
Now' Lokesh is set to release Leo' starring Vijay Joseph and Trisha Krishnan in the lead roles. The excitement around'Leo' isn't limited to Tamil fans' it's drawing attention from movie buffs all over India. The anticipation is so high that the film is expected to set new records for both theatrical and non-theatrical business in Tamil Cinema history.
The posters for Leo released in Telugu and Kannada have received a lot of love' and it's become the first South Indian film to open with a collection of 10 crores in Southern states. This buzz and anticipation are primarily because of Lokesh Kanagaraj's reputation as a director' rather than just Vijay's presence in the film. Lokesh has already achieved a box office collection of over 400 crores with Vikram' starring Kamal Haasan' while Vijay's highest-grossing film stands at 269 crores. With Leo' Vijay is expected to break his own record' and the film is also making history by being the first South Indian film to release in Bangladesh.
However' saying it in another way' Famed critic Manobala Vijaybalan points out that the excitement around Leo is not even 0.1% due to Joseph Vijay's presence.
He wrote''Not even a 0.1% hype is there for #Leo because of Joseph Vijay.
The buzz surrounding till now for #LeoFilm is because of #LokeshKanagaraj. Lokesh Kanagaraj has breached the ₹400 cr club with #Vikram' where as Joseph's lifetime highest in his career is ₹269 cr.
