Thalapathy Vijay's sensational gangster flick 'Leo' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj is set for release in theaters worldwide on October 19th. Thalapathy fans are planning the biggest celebrations ever and are hoping that the Tamil Nadu government will give permissions for early morning shows.

It has been reported that 'Leo' will open on October 19th at 4 am and 6.40 am in North America and 5.10 am in Britain at IST. Reports suggest that early morning 4 am shows in Kerala and Karnataka are likely to be approved by their respective governments. While Thalapathy fans in those regions are elated by this news the hardcore ones in Tamil Nadu are mighty disappointed as at this time the most likely start time in the state is 9 am. This means foriegn and other state fans will get to watch the film a few hours ahead. We will have to wait and see whether special permission will be given at the last moment or not.

'Leo' has music by Anirudh and is produced on a grand scale by Seven Screen Studios. The film stars Vijay, Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Action King Arjun, Priya Anand, Sandy , Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan, Mathew Thomas, Gautham Menon among others.
