Leo Audio Launch: Archana Kalpathi expresses solidarity with makers

On Tuesday, the makers of Vijay's Leo, took the actors' fans by shock by announcing that the film's audio launch would not be happening. Seven Screen Studio, one of the producers of the film, said that the event was cancelled due to "overflowing passes requests & safety constraints". 

Immediately after Seven Screen Studio's statement, Jagadish Palanisamy, the film's co-producer said, "It is a very hard decision and we feel the same level of disappointment as each one of the fans will go through. Despite working out various options and tremendous effort, we had to take this tough call, considering the extreme overflow in ticket demand and prioritising the safety of the guests."

Speaking in solidarity with the producers, Archana Kalpathi of AGS Entertainment, wrote on Wednesday, "It takes a lot of courage for Seven Screen Studio and Jagadish to take this call. The safety of his fans will always come first for our #Thalapathy. Let us celebrate every update from today. Mark my words Leo will have the biggest opening ever." It is to be noted that AGS Entertainment is the producer of Vijay's Thalapathy 68, helmed by Venkat Prabhu. 

It is to be noted that political commentator Savukku Shankar earlier alleged that the film's audio launch, which was supposed to be conducted later this month at the Nehru Indoor Auditorium, had not been given permission as DMK family's Red Giant is arm-twisting the producer of Leo for the film's distribution rights of Chennai, Chengalpattu, North Arcot, and South Arcot. However, the Seven Screen Studio quashed the news and said they were merely rumours.

Also starring an ensemble cast including Trisha, Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Priya Anand, Mysskin, etc., the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial is all set to hit theatres on October 19.
