New Delhi: It is anticipated that the Tamil film Leo, which is set to be released soon, will receive an enormous response in the UK, as evidenced by the pre-booking of movie tickets. In fact, it has already surpassed the record previously set by Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan I in terms of advance bookings. The movie is particularly noteworthy as it reunites actor Vijay with filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, following their successful collaboration on the 2021 box office hit Master.
