Leo enters THIS coveted club amid its BO numbers courting controversy

A few days ago, the makers announced that Leo has collected 461 crores worldwide and is the fastest Tamil movie to achieve this feat. We now hear that the action drama has entered 500 crore club. This is Vijay's first project to achieve this massive feat. 2.0, Jailer and Ponniyin Selvan 1 are other Kollywood movies that have earned 500 crores earlier.

Meanwhile, a couple of exhibitors have opened up about the incorrect box office figures announced by the makers of Leo. This has created a controversy in Kollywood and fans are curious to know the exact numbers the film has earned.
