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.
