The film saw an impressive 10000+ tickets booked within a day of opening ticket sales, 42 days before its global release. To put it in perspective, Ahimsa\u2019s previous film, &#8220;Varisu&#8221;, sold around 2000 tickets in the first 24 hours of pre-booking in January 2023. That means &#8220;LEO&#8221; achieved more than triple the initial interest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/i0.wp.com\/openmictamil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-09-08-at-18.58.48-723x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8368\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The buzz for &#8220;LEO&#8221; has been growing since its announcement. Ahimsa Entertainment, holding the theatrical rights for the UK and Europe, made an unprecedented move by starting pre-bookings six weeks before its release. This strategy seems to be paying off, with &#8220;LEO&#8221; now holding the title of the first Indian film to open bookings this early in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company is excited by the phenomenal response and anticipates even more sales in the days ahead. Highlighting their successful track record, Ahimsa Entertainment previously introduced Thalapathy Vijay\u2019s &#8220;Beast&#8221; to the US, which not only became a significant hit but also Vijay&#8217;s highest grosser in the country. Similarly, their release of &#8220;Varisu&#8221; in the UK achieved the same milestone, becoming yet another top earner for Thalapathy Vijay in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahimsa Entertainment stated, \u201cThe response in the first day has been overwhelming. With a strong team including Thalapathy Vijay, Lokesh Kanagaraj, Anirudh, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, and Trisha, we were hopeful for such positive numbers. We&#8217;re aiming to make this the largest ever release for an Indian film in the UK, and we&#8217;re grateful for the continuous support from fans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A renowned name in overseas Tamil movie distribution, Ahimsa Entertainment&#8217;s innovative approach with marketing and promotional activities has led to the successful release of many films, including &#8220;Beast&#8221;, &#8220;Varisu&#8221;, &#8220;Maamannan&#8221;, &#8220;Por Thozhil&#8221;, \u201cCobra\u201d, \u201cNaane Varuvean\u201d, &#8220;Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu&#8221;, &#8220;Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kadhal&#8221;, &#8220;Love Today&#8221;, and &#8220;Viduthalai Part 1&#8221;,&nbsp;to&nbsp;name&nbsp;a&nbsp;few.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chennai, September 08, 2023: Today, Ahimsa Entertainment announced a groundbreaking pre-release record for Thalapathy Vijay\u2019s latest film, &#8220;LEO&#8221;, in the UK.
