CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu government has granted accord to special shows of Vijay-starrer 'Leo'.

'Leo' makers requested for 4 am and 7 am shows on October 19, the release date, and sought assent to screen five shows from October 20 to 24 at 7 am.

The Government Order, however, allowed a special show with a maximum of five shows per day and has directed the police department to provide adequate security at movie halls and prevent overcrowding.

Leo is bankrolled by SS Lalit Kumar's Seven Screen Studio and helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Apart from Vijay, the film has Trisha, Arjun, Sanjay Dutt, Priya Anand and Mysskin, among others.

The film's technical crew consists of music composer Anirudh Ravichander, cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa and editor Philomin Raj. Leo is slated to hit the screens worldwide on October 19, eyeing the Ayudha Puja weekend.
