Leo witnessed a phenomenal audience turnout in several theatres across Tamil Nadu yesterday despite the new Diwali releases. All sights are now set on the lifetime collections considering the film has reportedly already crossed the 600-crore mark in worldwide gross collections, with more than 200 crores officially confirmed from overseas returns. Leo had several big factors to its credit in achieving box office glory starting with 'Thalapathy' Vijay's massive star power, which has propelled the film to its summit. Likewise, the actor's second collaboration with director Lokesh Kanagaraj and the buzz surrounding the film being a part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) created plenty of anticipation to draw audiences to cinemas, with the inclusion of the additional star cast featuring Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, Gautham Menon, Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan, and Sandy master adding to the excitement.
