Leo hit the theatres on October 19.
Lokesh Kanagaraj spilled the beans on Leo’s much-talked-about flashback scene in a current interview.
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is being closely criticised on social media for a flashback scene in his newest movie Leo, as per stories. He is getting trolled on-line for hinting that the flashback scenes in Leo might be pretend. In the movie, the character Hridayaraj D’Souza (Mansoor Ali Khan) narrates the backstory of Leo to Joshi (Gautham Menon). Fan theories counsel that the story might be completely pretend, and was instructed to cover the actual id of Leo.
Netizens have proven their displeasure on social media, and hashtags like #Leoscam and #LokeshKanagaraj are circulating on Twitter. According to the critics and moviegoers, the primary half of the movie was excellent, however they mentioned that the second half felt just like the film was being dragged. The flashback scenes and the second half of the movie got here beneath fireplace by the critics and the viewers alike.
In an interview, Leo’s cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa mentioned that the flashback scenes might be pretend, which have been narrated by Mansoor Ali Khan.
In one other Interview, Lokesh Kanagaraj himself was requested to share his ideas on the matter. He revealed, “Parthiban (Vijay’s character) never told the story of Leo from his perspective. It was told from Hridayaraj’s point of view. I had kept a dialogue where Hridayaraj would say that he was going to narrate the story from his perspective.” He said additional that the dialogue was chopped off from the ultimate draft, as editor Philomin Raj thought that it might give away the knowledge that the entire story is pretend.
Lokesh mentioned that he shortened the flashback scene, which might have been 40 to 45 minutes lengthy, as a consequence of a time crunch. He added, “The flashback portion was long. I deliberately cut them down as I felt it was difficult to bring back the audience to the present and it could look like a different film.” Lokesh Kanagaraj’s affirmation acted as gas for the net trolling.
Leo was launched on October 19 and is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. It stars Thalapathy Vijay, Sanjay Dutt, Trisha, Arjun, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan and Priya Anand. It is produced by SS Lalit Kumar and Jagadish Palanisamy, whereas Anirudh Ravichander has given the music.
