Thalapathy Vijay's latest film, 'Leo', has become a roaring success at the box-office, earning Rs 543.35 crore globally within just 12 days of its release and making its way to cross the total collection of Rajinikanth's 'Jailer'.

As 'Leo' continued its journey, it not only dominated the Indian box-office with a net collection of Rs 307.95 crore but also made waves globally, amassing Rs 4.5 crore on Day 12 in India and Rs 181 crore internationally. The film's journey to the top was marked by a dedicated fan base, ensuring its victory at every turn.

Despite facing a dip in collections during weekdays, 'Leo' managed to surpass the lifetime gross of Rajinikanth's 'Jailer' in Tamil Nadu, securing its position as the second-highest-grossing film in Kollywood history.
