#LeoScam is trending on social media; Here's why
The controversy centers around a pivotal plot twist in the movie, which has sparked speculation that the flashbacks in the film might be fake
HYDERABAD: Director Lokesh Kanagaraj finds himself at the center of a social media storm following the release of his latest film, "Leo."
The controversy centers around a pivotal plot twist in the movie, which has sparked speculation that the flashbacks in the film might be fake. This wave of speculation has given rise to hashtags like #Leoscam on Twitter.
In response to this situation, some witty individuals from the Tamil media have seized the opportunity to promote other films with a clever twist by humorously declaring, "This movie has a real flashback," cheekily alluding to the debate surrounding "Leo's" flashback authenticity.
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has recently clarified that the film intentionally follows the perspective of Hridayaraj, portrayed by Mansoor Ali Khan, rather than Parthiban/Leo. He has also hinted that all the flashbacks in the film could be fabricated.
While some cinephiles appreciate Kanagaraj's innovative storytelling approach, others question the use of excessive ambiguity and theories to compensate for potential storytelling flaws.
Lokesh Kanagaraj is undeniably a talented storyteller, but finding the delicate balance between intrigue and coherence is a challenge he may need to carefully consider in his future works to maintain the gravity of his storytelling.
