’s upcoming film Leo: Bloody Sweet is rewriting records and setting new benchmarks for its release. The film, which is set to release on October 19 in India, is all set to have its premiere in the United States of America on October 18, and the film has beaten Shah Rukh Khan’s 'Jawan' in terms of number of screens by a huge margin.

'Jawan', which is the biggest Hindi film of all time with over Rs 630 crore box office, managed to get 1600 shows on its first day, while Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo got 1755 screens, beating SRK by 155 shows, and it has amassed nearly $1.3 million. By the time the shows begin, it will reach the minimum of $1.6 million. The film is being released mostly in Telugu and

Tamil

, while Hindi has a limited release. Of the three languages, Telugu is doing the most business, and it is expected to reach $300,000.

In the USA, the film is being shown in multiple formats, from 2D to XD to IMAX and a very recent format, RPX, where movies are shown with uncompressed surround sound and bright eye-popping images in 2D and RealD 3D. India has received 13 cuts from the censor, and the makers are more than willing to comply with the board. The synopsis of the film on the Censor Board’s website reads, “In the world of untamed rivers that are trying to drown Parthiban, whether he remains as a divine god or a dreaded demon is the rest of the story."

The makers of the film recently released a 2-minute, 43-second trailer that offered a glimpse into the film's narrative, showcasing

Lokesh Kanagaraj

's directorial prowess in crafting intense action sequences and Vijay doing what he does best—action! Vijay will be seen playing a double role in the film, while Lokesh has still kept the details of his second character a secret.
Leo stars Thalapathy Vijay, Trisha, Sanjay Dutt, Gautam Vasudev Menon, and Anurag Kashyap, and it is carrying a lot of buzz and excitement for multiple reasons. One being that it brings back the pair of Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj after the success of 'Master'. It is also one rare film where three directors, Anurag Kashyap, Gautam Menon, and Mysskin, are facing the camera as actors. Leo is also a part of Lokesh’s Cinematic Universe, wherein the filmmaker plans to bring together projects like Karthi’s Kaithi and Kamal Haasan’s Vikram
