<p>Tamil star Vijay's upcoming film<em> Leo</em> has been mired in controversy even before its release. Several cinema hall owners have now reportedly banned celebrations inside their theatres during the screening of the film's teaser/trailer.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The decision came soon after Vijay's fans tore seat covers and dismantled seats during the <em>Leo</em> trailer screening at a theatre in Chennai.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The Tamil Nadu government has also refused to allow 4 am or 7 am shows for <em>Leo</em> which will now open in theatres only at 9 am on October 19.<br />

<strong>Fans vandalise theatre during Leo trailer screening</strong><br />
<br />
Taking to X on Tuesday, film trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan shared pictures of a vandalised movie theatre and wrote, “Rohini Cinemas completely thrashed by Joseph Vijay fans after #LeoTrailer screening.”&nbsp;<br />

Sharing the action taken against such acts, he said in another tweet, "Just IN: Tamil Nadu theatres to STOP teaser/trailer celebrations. This decision has come after Joseph Vijay fans completely thrashed Rohini Cinemas in Chennai during #Leo trailer launch celebration. The President of the Theater Owners Association has said ‘We have decided not to release any more trailers in theaters’."</p>

<p><strong>No early morning shows for Leo in Tamil Nadu</strong><br />
<br />
Vijay's films are always the most anticipated releases of the year and Leo is no different. In order to make the release a grand affair, Seven Screen Studios Production had filed a petition before the Madras High Court requesting to allow the film to be screened as early as 4 am across cinema halls in Tamil Nadu on the day of its release.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
However, on Tuesday, Justice Anita Sumanth, refrained from passing orders regarding the request for 4 am shows. The court also directed the Tamil Nadu government to reconsider its decision to not allow 7 am shows for the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Leo is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and marks his reunion with Vijay after the 2021 blockbuster, <em>Master. </em>The film also reunites Vijay with Trisha Krishnan. They have earlier worked together in films like <em>Ghilli, Kuruvi, Thirupaachi </em>and <em>Aathi.</em> <em>Leo</em> also features Sanjay Dutt in a key role.&nbsp;</p>
