Tamil superstar Vijay’s upcoming gangster drama, Leo, is undoubtedly one of the most eagerly awaited biggies of the year. The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial is slated to open in cinemas worldwide on October 19. Needless to say, the film is sure to register an epic opening across the globe.

Thanks to the unprecedented hype, Leo has already begun destroying the box office records with pre-sales in the United Kingdom. The film has pulled off a sensational feat already by surpassing Vijay’s previous movie Varisu’s day 1 gross (£164,962 or Rs 1.63 crore) by collecting over £175,000 from the advance bookings. What’s staggering is that Leo has achieved this feat with 37 days remaining for its grand release.

Both Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj had earlier joined forces with each other for ‘Master’ and the result was a huge blockbuster. Fans of the star actor-director duo have pinned high hopes on Leo and they are eagerly waiting for the movie’s release. Leo also features Trisha, Sanjay Dutt and Arjun in lead roles. The SS Lalit Kumar’s production has its soundtrack composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
