    Thalapathy Vijay-led 'Leo' earns a whopping Rs. 400cr in pre-sales

    Kollywood superstar Thalapathy Vijay, who is currently basking in the glory of his recent release Varisu's success, will be next seen in the multi-starrer film Leo. The highly-anticipated project marks the reunion of Vijay and ace director Lokesh Kanagaraj after the success of their 2021 film Master. In the latest development, the film has already done a pre-release business of Rs. 400cr, said reports.

    Why does this story matter?

    • Touted as one of the biggest crowd-pullers of the Tamil film industry, Vijay has achieved global success and a massive fan following over the years.
    • The film Leo celebrates the actor's 67th outing in Kollywood, and his reunion with critically acclaimed Kanagaraj has got the fans excited.
    • Notably, the director's previous outings Kaithi and Vikram emerged as massive successes at the box office.

    Digital rights sold at whopping Rs. 120cr

    As per reports, the upcoming gangster drama has become the first Tamil film to have a pre-release business of Rs. 400cr. Notably, Leo's digital rights have been sold to Netflix for a sum of Rs. 120cr (Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada). Sun TV bagged the film's Tamil satellite rights for Rs. 70cr, while Sony Music has acquired the music rights for Rs. 18cr.

    Global theatrical rights of 'Leo' pegged at Rs. 175cr

    The global theatrical rights of Leo are reportedly pegged at Rs. 175cr. A breakdown of the numbers suggests that the overseas rights stood at Rs. 50cr, whereas the Tamil Nadu rights are pegged at a sum of Rs. 75cr. Leo, set to be released in October, has officially become the first Tamil film to rake in a staggering Rs. 400cr in just pre-release sales.
