Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj who arrived in Kerala as part of ‘Leo’ promotion, suffered an injury to his leg amid the rush of fans. The incident happened while the director met fans at Aroma Theatre in Palakkad the other day. 

As per reports, police officers had a hard time attempting to regulate the massive crowd in the area and even had to resort to brandishing lathis against them. 

Following this, Lokesh cancelled his future events in the state and went back. It is learnt that the director’s visit to Ragam Theatre in Thrissur and Kavitha Theatre in Kochi have also been cancelled and a press meet in Kochi has been postponed.   

Meanwhile, ‘Leo’, starring Vijay, Sanjay Dutt and Trisha in lead roles, continues its successful run in theatres across the country. The film marks a reunion between Vijay and Lokesh after their 2021 blockbuster ‘Master’.
