Will Vijay's 'Leo' Have 4 AM Shows In Tamil Nadu? Madras HC To Decide

Will 'Leo' have 4 am shows in Tamil Nadu or not? The Madras High Court will decide whether or not Vijay-starrer can have early morning shows.

Seven Screen Studios, which has funded the project, has filed a petition to the Madras High Court, seeking permission to screen the film in Tamil Nadu at 4 am on its release day, according to a report in ANI.

The makers have also requested the court to allow screenings of the Vijay-starrer at 7 am from October 19 to October 24.

The petitioner asserted that the recent movies 'Pathan' and 'Jawan' featuring Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan commenced with six to seven shows in Mumbai and six shows in Delhi. They have claimed that the success of the movie at the box office depends on the opening day collections, thereby underscoring the significance of having special screenings.

The Madras High Court has agreed to hear a petition on Tuesday after advocate of 'Leo' makers mentioned before Justice Anita Sumanth to hear the plea on an urgent basis.

The petition highlighted the film's duration, estimating approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes for each screening. Given this timeframe, the theaters face the technical impossibility of accommodating five shows within the stipulated 16 hours and 30 minutes allocated for screenings, as stated in the petition. Consequently, the petitioner requested an extra screening at 7 AM from October 19 to 24.

'Leo' is an action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. He had earlier made hit movies such as 'Kaithi' and 'Master' (with Vijay). The latest flick has Sanjay Dutt, Trisha, Arjun and others in the cast.
