Director Lokesh Kanagaraj's latest release, 'Leo', is the most prestigious film in Thalapathy Vijay's career. This project garnered unprecedented hype even before its official announcement and the anticipation grew bigger and bigger towards the release, making it one of the biggest releases for a Tamil film ever.

After 'RRR', 'Baahubali 2' and 'KGF Chapter 2', Leo is the fourth-best Day 1 worldwide grosser in Indian cinema.
