Leo also stars Trisha and Sanjay Dutt and has music by Anirudh Ravichander. It will release worldwide on October 19.

Vijay’s upcoming Tamil film Leo is expected to get a massive opening in the UK as indicated by the advance booking of the movie tickets. It has already beaten the record set by Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan I in advance booking. The film marks Vijay and filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj’s reunion after the 2021 blockbuster Master

Sharing the latest update on the film’s advance booking numbers, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted on Saturday, “Vijay: ‘Leo’ setting new benchmarks… #ThalapathyVijay’s #Leo is shattering records #Overseas. Distributed in #UK and #Europe by #AhimsaEntertainment, with 19 days left, the film has already taken the *#Tamil* Day 1 #BO crown in #UK from the previously held #PS1. #Leo is targeting to surpass the current single-day earnings for an INDIAN film in #UK, a record presently held by #Pathaan.”

Leo will also release in Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. Trisha Krishnan, who earlier worked with Vijay in Tamil hits Ghilli, Kuruvi, Thirupaachi and Aathi, features opposite him in Leo as well. Sanjay Dutt is set to mark his Tamil film debut with Leo. It also stars Arjun Sarja, Mansoor Ali Khan, Priya Anand, Mysskin and Gautham Vasudev Menon. Anirudh Ravichander, who composed music for Vijay’s hit films like Kaththi, Master and Beast, has given music for the film.
