CHENNAI: Seven Screen Studio, the production company that's backing Vijay's upcoming film Leo, has decided to skip the audio launch event for the film citing safety constraints and pass requests. However, according to the makers, several updates about the film would be given in the coming days.
The post in the production house's official X handle read, "Considering overflowing passes requests & safety constraints, we have decided not to conduct the Leo Audio Launch. In respect of the fans' wishes, we will keep you engaged with frequent updates. P.S. As many would imagine, this is not due to political pressure or any other reasons." (sic)
According to sources close to the film unit, organisers felt hard-pressed to issue tickets beyond the capacity Jawarhal Nehru Indoor Stadium could hold. However, Tinseltown sources tell us that there could be some internal reasons apart from tickets on why the makers decided to cancel the event despite erecting the sets at the venue.

Leo is bankrolled by SS Lalit Kumar's Seven Screen Studio and helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film stars Vijay, Trisha, Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Priya Anand and Mysskin, among others. The film's music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, while Manoj Paramahamsa is the cinematographer and Philomin Raj is the editor.
Leo would release worldwide on October 19, coinciding with Ayudha Pooja holidays.
