The most talented among the new generation of tamil film directors is lokesh Kanagaraj. Reviews for his most recent film, Leo, which starred Thalapthy Vijay in tamil, were not entirely positive. To cut to the chase, lokesh is receiving a lot of criticism for his post-release interviews that mention Leo. lokesh stated in a recent interview that "nobody knows the real story of parthiban and Leo."
Everything you see in the movie is only Mansoor's interpretation of the events as they unfold. It may not be Leo's true story after all. He made the implication that everything depicted in the movie, including Leo's flashback, may be a hoax. Internet users had a humorous response to this remark. "Lokesh kanagaraj is hurting himself more than helping himself with post-release interviews.
He need to concede that the movie is awful and go on to his next without saying anything more, rather than using fictitious flashbacks and fan theories to defend #Leo's shoddy writing. A user remarked online. Does lokesh believe that the audience is stupid? What good is a movie if its entire premise is a fabricated impression? If all of the reviews for the movie were favourable, would he still have stated this is a fake? Another netizen said, "This cover-up act will only destroy his credibility and image."
After hinting that the narrative in Leo could be a fabrication, there has been a clear outcry against Lokesh. This isn't the type of behaviour one would anticipate from a highly regarded director; it is blatantly careless and overconfident to assume that the public would embrace anything the director says.
