Thalapathy Vijay starrer Leo, which debuted with an impressive Rs 64 crore, is now facing a downward trend at the box office. The Tamil action-thriller hit theatres on October 19, and as it entered its second week, it consistently earned between Rs 2.15 crore to Rs 4.25 crore. 

After minting Rs 2.15 crore on Friday, Leo earned slightly better on Saturday. It minted Rs 4 crore, taking the total collection of the film to Rs 323 crore. Leo had an overall 29.22% Tamil Occupancy on Saturday. 

Leo marks the second collaboration between Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj after Master. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Trisha Krishnan, and Arjun Sarja among others. It is the third instalment in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, following the 2019 film Kaithi starring Karthi and Kamal Haasan’s Vikram which released in 2022.

The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial has outperformed Prabhas’ Adipurush at the domestic box office and is now aiming to surpass the Indian box office collection of Rajinikanth’s Jailer. Jailer made a total of Rs 348.55 crore in India and Rs 604 crore worldwide.

Vijay recently spoke about Leo at the success meet of the film in Chennai. The actor said, “You know Thalapathy are soldiers taking orders from the kings. Kings will order, and the Thalapathy will accomplish the task. As far as I am concerned, you all are kings and I am your Thalapathy. I am a Thalapathy at your service. Nandri vanakkam.”
