Meanwhile, Leo had been entangled in a legal quagmire for more than a month before the film’s theatrical debut.
It all started when the film’s trailer was published, in which Vijay was heard screaming a vulgar word to his adversary, which did not sit well with his admirers, who noted that the actor has a large fan base and that using bad language can have an affect on young minds.
While the film received a U/A certificate from the Censor Board, the trailer received an A certificate.
