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.
