Overview
- Clips from the unreleased film spread across social media on Thursday, triggering a wave of reposts and takedown requests.
- The material includes a five-minute title and intro segment, a prison fight, about 90 seconds from a song, and scenes featuring Mamitha Baiju.
- KVN Productions started pulling the videos from X, and fans urged others not to share the clips, warning that posts could face legal action.
- The Central Board of Film Certification, which clears theatrical releases in India, has delayed the film since January, with reports suggesting clearance only after the April 23 vote.
- Supporters called the timing a political ploy and some outlets noted an edit-room leak as a possibility, adding strain to what is billed as Vijay’s last film before full-time politics as he runs with his TVK party.
