Box Office: Leo Becomes Second Highest-Grossing Film In Tamil Nadu

Chennai, October 30 - Thalapathy Vijay's action drama Leo has become the second highest-grossing film in Tamil Nadu, beating superstar Rajinikanth's mega-blockbuster "Jailer". Lokesh Kanagaraj's directorial is also inching towards hitting the 200 crores mark in the state.

The latest Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) blockbuster crossed "Jailer" in 12 days. The Rajini-led movie scored approximately 189.50 crores gross collection in Tamil Nadu and "Leo" scored around 191.50 crores. It is now behind only Mani Ratnam's "Ponniyin Selvan - 1" which grossed approx. 213 crores last year.



"Leo" will become only the second movie to top 200 crores gross in Tamil Nadu and it is heading towards finishing around 210 crores gross. The movie, however, has the potential to become the number 1 movie in the state and it needs to hold strong during the weekdays.

Produced by Seven Screen Studio, the third LCU movie has already become the third highest-grossing Tamil movie of all time at the worldwide box office. It minted approx. 543 crores gross in 12 days. The movie, however, is still approximately 62 crores behind "Jailer" which is the second-biggest Tamil movie. "Leo" will need to hold strongly in the coming days if it wishes to go near "Jailer" which remains to see.
