Thalapathy Vijay enjoys a loyal fan base in the Hindi market. However, as usual, the makers didn’t make any efforts to market their film in the Hindi belt. There were no promotions for Leo, and whatever the business the film did was because of the genuine interest on the ground level and the face value of Vijay.
As per the last update, Leo has earned 32.21 crores net at the Indian box office with its Hindi dubbed version. For the unversed, the cost and theatrical value of the Hindi version is around 15 crores. If we remove this cost from the collection, the film enjoys returns of 17.21 crores at the Indian box office.
