We have mentioned earlier that Leo needs to perform decently over the festival period to cover its costs. Leo had an impressive third day in Telugu states, collecting around 8 crores gross. The total gross now stands at 32 crores. These are the highest collections for a Vijay starrer in Telugu. Despite the mixed reviews, Leo is putting up a strong show at the Tollwood box office.
The Telugu version will be achieving its breakeven mark very soon. Vijay’s growth in Telugu is remarkable. Thuppaki and Snehithudu brought him closer to the Telugu audience, and from then on, he expanded the market with every film. Leo has taken it a few notches higher.
Vijay has become a bankable star in Telugu too. Even if his last film, Beast, which received bad reviews, had a very good opening and with Leo, Vijay has solidified his market in Telugu. Up next, he will be seen in a film that is being directed by Venkat Prabhu.
