Leo: Makers of Vijay Starrer Move Madras High Court, Seek 4 am Shows For Fans’ ‘Insatiable Desire’ – News18

Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo is one of the most awaited movies. While fans are eagerly waiting for it, it was recently reported that the film will not have early morning shows. To seek permission for the same, K Ramachandran, Authorised Signatory of Seven Screen Studios, has now moved the Madras High Court. As reported by Indian Express, the producer has filed a plea stating early morning shows of Leo are crucial to fans’ ‘insatiable desire’.

“I submit that adhering to the regulation I had submitted a representation letter dated 15 Sep 2023 to the Principal Secretary to Government, the Hon’ble Minister, and the Hon’ble Chief Minister requesting permission to screen 6 shows on the opening day and 5 shows from 20th October to 24th October 2023. On the opening day ie., 19.10.2023 the 1st show has been planned to be screened at 4 am to cater for the insatiable desire of the hard-core fans and from 7 am onwards from 20.10.2023,” read the petition as quoted by the news portal.

K Ramachandran further cited Kerala-Karnataka and added, “To cater for the unusual demand of viewership the states of Kerala and Karnataka have permitted an early morning timing extension from 4’o clock. In line with the neighbouring states, I had requested the same special show timings from 4 a.m. for the theatres in Tamil Nadu to manage overcrowding and fanfare on 19.10.2023.”

For the unversed, the plea comes days after the Tamil Nadu government issued an order imposing certain conditions for the screening of Leo in theatres. As per this order, Vijay’s movie will not have an early morning show. While the first show will begin at 9 am, it can go on till 1:30 am.
