Vijay didn’t want Leo to be a pan-Indian film, he initially said ‘I want to make films for our people’

Lalit Kumar also spilled details about the audio launch of Leo and said, “Leo audio launch will not happen in Chennai. It will happen either in Coimbatore or Trichy or Madurai. When we were discussing the audio launch, we initially suggested to Vijay that we will do it in Chennai’s Nehru stadium. Vijay told us, ‘It’s boring to keep doing it there. Please take me outside the city. It’s been a while since I met people out there.’ So, we are planning to do it somewhere other than Chennai.”

When asked if Leo is part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe, Lalit said, “You will know while watching the film. There will be a special announcement if that’s the case. Wait and see.”

Leo, which was tentatively titled Thalapathy 67, will release in theatres on October 19, 2023 in multiple languages. Sanjay Dutt, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Arjun Sarja, Mysskin and Priya Anand among others are also part of the film.
