It is known that ``Leo'' is being released in Pan india amid huge expectations and is being directed by lokesh kanagaraj with Thalapathy Vijay as the protagonist. After 'Khaidi', 'Vikram', the film is being released by lokesh Universe, so the expectations are sky high. How is Vijay going to be highlighted in 'Leo'? What kind of story are you going to come up with? The excitement is visible in the fans.
In this background, National Multiplex looks like a shock to Leo. The reason for this is that there is not a big gap between the theatrical release and the OTT wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital release. With 'Leo' flouting the eight-week clause brought by multiplexes, the chances of the film being limited to only single screen in hindi are seen. Leo wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital will not leave the market for the week-long business at the multiplex.
After the theatrical release, 'Leo' will be released in OTT within a month. There is no doubt that there will be huge openings in terms of theatres. 'Jailer' was released with this strategy. The jailer also said no to the eight-week sentence and moved away from the National Multiplex. OTT is a movie compart business. No producer will step beyond the safe zone. So this is multiplex's loss! The producer is saying no.
On the other hand, the specter of piracy also haunts the industry. As soon as the first show is released, the print will be leaked. The content of some movies are shown on the websites before the release. No matter how many strict restrictions are imposed on this, it will not work. They are threatening again and again. At such a time, there is no situation for OTTs to take a long gap and release. In this context, it seems that it is difficult to bring a national multiplex and make the 8-week rule possible.
