A surprise villain in Vijay Leo - Malayalam Stars trail behind Tamil Stars in Kerala BO

Leo continues to be in news. Latest is the storyline. Ijay and family live in a small town an earn their income by running a café. A violent gang enters the town and many residents are robbed and killed. How Vijay tackles the gang forms the story. Lokesh in an interview said that Sanjay Dutt an Arjun play brothers to Vijay in the film. However, second single Badaas shows Sanjay with menacing looks and deadly weapons as if he is the antagonist. So the real antagonist could be another actor and kept a surprise? Netizens say that second single BGM has similarity to the one played in a scene in Winner featuring Vadivelu. Producer Lalit Kumar revealed that there is a 8 minute before interval will give anybody goosebumps and says the Leo will break all Tamil film records. Yet another news is that Kamal has dubbed for Leo. Is Kamal coming as Commander Karna of Vikram as part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe? Or is he just giving an intro like PS 2 ?

Tamil Stars and SRK films have bigger opening than Malayalam Superstars in Kerala says a trade report. So far in 2023 the highest opening is Jailer with Rs 5. 80 crores. Second is Dulquer King Of Kotha with Rs 5 .75 crore. Third biggest opening is Vijay Varisu with Rs 4.80 crore, Fourth place is PS 2 and fifth place is Jawan and sixth place is Dilip Voice of Sathiyanathann and seventh place is SRK Paathan. Eighth place is Mammooty Christopher and ninth place is Ajth Thunivu and tenth place is Mohanlal Alone. Kerala audience coming in big numbers of opening day to see hyped up Tamil and Hindi films and giving Kerala Stars films a lukewarm response shows that Malayalam Producers need to do more promotions and road shows. The film 2018 which entered the Rs 200 crore club and selected for Indian entry at Oscars opened with only Rs 1.80 crore and was only in 6th place in opening numbers and so also RDX. Both picked up after reviews were positive. In contrast Dulquer heavy promotion gave him a stupendous opening but bad reviews slowed down the collections. As trade analysts point out that the high renumeration that a Star demand is that he can bring in an opening that others cannot and this is not happening.

Was Leo audio launch canceled due to political pressure ? Details here

Was political pressure the reason for the audio launch of Leo being cancelled ?. Vijay fans say that Udhaynidhi ‘s distribution company not getting the distribution rights had played foul . Producer Lalit Kumar says that heavy demand for passes and security concerns made him cancel the event and says no political pressure. Our investigation reveals that the truth lies in between. The first-ever senior national 3x3 basketball championship was held from September 22 to 24 at Jawaharlal Nehru indoor stadium . The event was played on a half court set as per FIBA standards and for this the plates imported from China were fixed on the floor. On September 25th the event organisers of Leo function was told that the half court that was created for basketball cannot be used and rest of the area was free. Already Vijay Makkal Iyakkam had given State wide list of passes for the office bearers and it was already more than the seated capacity of 36000. With half court area gone, the dais had to be made shorter. Next was to look for an open ground like Sri Ram College but here again the security was a issue as it required heavy manpower to keep it free from overcrowding. Though the basketball event was over on September 24th, the stadium could b given only on September 26th as there was cleaning to be one. This left only three days as audio launch was fixed for September 30th. Initially , the event was planned to be held in Malaysia but here again the biggest stadium was already booked. Later on, Vijay decided to turn Leo event into a Iyyakam show of strength. After seeing the criticism in media over the shoddy conduct of AIADMK conference and the recent A R Rahman show, organisers decided to skip the event. The film is releasing on October 19th and there is enough time to get another venue and make arrangements but why is the Producer cancelling the event instead of postponing it. One reason is that after two IPS officers were transferred after the Rahman show chaos, police are running away from giving permission to shows in public grounds. The two police officers were transferred for not managing the traffic that was heavy during Rahman show and subsequently CM convoy got held in the traffic snarl. There is also an allegation that certain BJP men made fake passes and sold them and this led to overcrowding in Rahman show and this could happen in Leo show too. We will have to wait to see if the Leo audio launch gets a new date.

Will Indian 2 bite the bait ? Kavin in Jason Sanjay film

It has come to light that Big ticket film Producers in Tamil have opted to take the deal offered by OTT platforms and in turn sacrifice a nationwide release in North India. SRK Jawan box office in South India is one of the highest for a Hindi film and Rajinikanth’s Jailor total collection from Hindi was only Rs 7 crores ! Tamil version collected Rs 264 crores and made a record of sorts. Now the same is happening for Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo as they have cliched a deal with NetFlix and got a price bigger than Pushpa 2. Probing further, it turns out that Pushpa 2 is going for a nationwide release as the first part was a hit nationally. Upcountry national chain of theatres will not pick up films that have a deal with OTT platforms for a 4th week streaming rights from the date of release. Sun Pictures struck a deal with Amazon for streaming from 30th day of release and so multiplex chains in North India did not pick it up and so the film had only limited theatres. Now Leo too faces this fate . National chains want 8 week gap for OTT to stream and trade feels that Tamil producers are losing the Hindi market by not waiting for 8 weeks, Jailer received good reviews in Hindi and upcountry media and had the potential to get more money and expand the market, In contrast, Telugu producers of Star films of Prabhas- Ally Arjun – Ram Charan and NTR Jr do not sign the 4 week deal. It has to be seen whether Kamal Indian 2 produced by Lyca will opt for a 8 week window and tap Hindi belt ?
