Kerala to boycott LEO. The much-anticipated project LEO, starring Vijay in the lead role and directed by the talented Lokesh Kanagaraj, has been the talk of the town across the nation. With Trisha as the female lead, and a star-studded cast including Sanjay Dutt, Priya Anand, Gowtham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, Santi Mayadevi, Mathew Thomas, and Mansoor Ali Khan in key roles, and Anirudh Ravichander composing the music, expectations have reached sky-high levels.
However, amid the escalating excitement and as the film gears up for its grand release on October 19th, which coincides with the festive occasion of Dasara, unexpected reports are emerging from Kerala. A trending hashtag, #KeralaBoycottLEO, has taken social media by storm, leaving many wondering about the reasons behind this sudden and widespread dissent.
The origins of this trend appear to be rooted in alleged incidents where Vijay's fans were perceived to have targeted Malayalam superstar Mohanlal and the Kerala film industry without valid cause. As a response to these actions, some Twitter users from Kerala have voiced their intention to boycott films featuring Vijay.
Messages bearing the sentiment "#Lalettan fans will fully boycott all movies starring Vijay, and not only us, the ENTIRE KERALA PEOPLE WILL BOYCOTT" have been circulating widely. The repercussions of this boycott movement on LEO's reception in Kerala remain uncertain and will be closely observed.
As this unexpected development unfolds, it remains to be seen how it will impact the release and reception of LEO in Kerala, a region known for its passionate film culture and discerning audience.
