Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is basking in the success of his latest release Leo, starring Vijay in the lead role, suffered a minor injury during the film's promotions in Palakkad, in Kerala. The director, who was supposed to address his fans at Ragam theatre in Thrissur and later at Kavitha theatre in Kochi, then cancelled his plans, reported news agency PTI. On X (earlier known as Twitter), the filmmaker shared a selfie with fans and wrote, "Thank you Kerala for your love.. Overwhelmed, happy and grateful to see you all in Palakkad. Due to a small injury in the crowd, I couldn't make it to the other two venues and the press meeting. I would certainly come back to meet you all in Kerala again soon. Till then continue enjoying #Leo with the same love."
A source close to the filmmaker told PTI, "He consulted a doctor at a hospital in Palakkad itself and later left for Coimbatore. He may stay there or might leave for Chennai for further treatment."
