In another tweet, he said, "Just IN: Tamil Nadu theatres to STOP teaser/trailer celebrations. This decision has come after Joseph Vijay fans have 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’."

Vijay starrer 'Leo' is one of the most awaited films of the year. The grand-movie watching experience for the film has been anticipated by fans as the production house, Seven Screen Studios Production, filed a petition before the Madras High Court requesting to allow the film to be screened as early as 4:00 AM on Day 1 in Tamil Nadu.

However, on Tuesday, Justice Anita Sumanth, refrained from passing the order on the aforementioned request. The court also directed the Tamil Nadu government to reconsider its decision to not allow 7:00 AM shows for the film.

However, trade analyst Manobala Vijayabalan confirmed that even 7 AM shows will not be allowed for the film.
