‘Leo’ team puts an end to the bad word controversy over the film’s trailer!

Thalapathy Vijay is all set to conquer the box office with his highly anticipated biggie ‘Leo’ on October 19. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the official trailer of the film debuted on the internet earlier this month. It was an uncensored version and it had a cuss word spoken by Thalapathy Vijay.

Lokesh Kanagaraj in an earlier interview said that he takes responsibility for the bad word uttered by Thalapathy Vijay in the trailer. He added that it was essential to the character and the story. The trailer that premiered on Youtube was an uncensored version and hence, it featured the curse word.

Now, the team has replaced the censored version of the trailer on Youtube and the bad word is muted completely. ‘Leo’ was awarded a ‘U/A’ certificate by the CBFC and there were 13 trim/replacements in the movie. The final runtime of the film’s Indian version is around 2 hours 44 minutes and 27 seconds. With music by Anirudh, Leo stars Vijay, Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, Gautham Menon and many others.
