Vijay’s LEO, highly anticipated film, received mixed reviews following its release. Lokesh Kanagaraj, the young and talented director behind the film, had been keeping a low profile since the movie’s launch. However, he recently broke his silence and addressed the varying opinions on LEO.
The film, starring Vijay and released on October 19th, had a polarizing reception from the audience. While it is performing admirably at the box office, some viewers and fans expressed reservations about certain aspects. They were notably displeased with the forced connections to the larger cinematic universe and the excessive action sequences in the second half.
The flashback segment of the movie also faced criticism, with many feeling it didn’t match the caliber of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s previous works. In response to these mixed reviews, Lokesh expressed his satisfaction with the overall reception of the film. He explained that he had been away from network coverage, intending to wait for a few more days to gauge the audience’s sentiments.
Lokesh intends to carefully analyze the feedback and constructive criticism to inform his approach in his future projects. He also dropped an exciting piece of news, revealing that his next venture would be with the legendary Superstar Rajinikanth in “Thalaivar 171,” slated to commence production in March or April of 2024.
In the wake of mixed reviews, it’s clear that Lokesh Kanagaraj remains committed to delivering quality cinema and is poised to take the valuable feedback to heart for his upcoming collaboration with the iconic Rajinikanth.
