Leo was one of the much awaited films this year. Lokesh Kanagaraj's direction, Vijay's Stardom pulled the film to finish line deposite of very pretty average content. Those who thought Lokesh Kanagaraj was done with Leo were wrong because that’s not the case, and he has finally officially confirmed Leo 2. Leo will return.
At a recent event, when asked about the status of Leo 2, Lokesh Kanagaraj said, “Leo 2 is definitely on; I’ll start to write after #Thalaivar171 & Kaithi 2. Definitely… It’s always fun to work with Vijay Anna.” This would surely make many Thalapathy Vijay fans jump in joy.
Though Leo’s climax hinted at the sequel, the mixed response to the film gave people a chance to talk about how this journey won’t continue ahead. But, with the confidence Lokesh Kanagaraj has announced the sequel, it looks like he has a great story in hand.
Though Leo didn’t receive the critical acclaim, it managed to collect 607.66 crore (worldwide gross) at the box office. Leo managed to bring in 342 crore at the Indian box office, but that wasn’t enough to beat Rajinikanth’s Jailer. While the global collection has been crossed, the Thalapathy Vijay starrer failed to surpass Rajinikanth’s Jailer at the Indian box office.
