In a strategic move to accommodate the grand release of Vijay's highly anticipated action film 'Leo,' according to the sources, Kerala theaters are temporarily reshuffling their schedules, making way for the superstar's flick. 'Leo,' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is generating immense buzz and is set to hit screens on October 19, 2023, as Kerala cinema halls prepare for a massive day one release.
Sources have revealed that the Malayalam film 'Kannur Squad' will be temporarily removed from some screens on October 19 to allow 'Leo' to occupy a significant number of theaters. However, 'Kannur Squad' is expected to return to these screens on October 20.
This decision has sparked mixed reactions among Kerala audiences. Some have expressed disappointment, criticizing the move for affecting the growth of Malayalam cinema. On the other hand, a section of netizens is supporting the grand release of 'Leo,' given the heightened anticipation surrounding Vijay's comeback after a few box office setbacks.
'Leo' (also marketed as 'Leo: Bloody Sweet') is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language action thriller film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film stars Vijay in the titular character, along with a stellar cast including Sanjay Dutt, Trisha, Arjun, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan, and Priya Anand. The movie's arrival is eagerly awaited by fans and cinephiles.
Meanwhile, 'Kannur Squad,' directed by a debutant filmmaker, has been performing impressively at the box office, and it is expected to cross the Rs 70 crore mark by the end of its third week in theaters. The film has garnered attention for its engaging storyline and memorable performances, contributing to the success of Malayalam cinema.
