A new update from the filmmakers has been overdue. Fans are eager to learn new details of the project. However, their expectations and repeated social media campaigns have failed to move the producers to share new promotional material. 

Fans are upset with no update on Leo

The last update of Leo came more than a month ago. On August 15, the producer unveiled a new promo revealing Arjun Sarja's character named Harold Das. The production team almost disappeared into oblivion with no update on what was happening with the project. Barring a few speculative reports about the ongoing production work, there have been no fresh updates. 

When Lokesh was pressured to reveal something about Leo at the award show, he promised the promotions would begin in full swing from Sunday. "There was a lot of work that needed to be completed. We had planned that we would start promotions a month before its release. And we will start releasing updates from tomorrow (September 17)," he revealed.
