Legend Saravanan, a well-known businessman, made his acting debut with The Legend. His latest film, Leader, directed by R. S. Durai Senthilkumar, has now hit cinemas, and it features Payal Rajput as the female lead.
The film is currently making headlines for the wrong reasons. The makers released a poster claiming that Leader grossed ₹25 crore in its opening weekend and is heading towards the ₹100 crore mark. However, trade reports suggest these figures are highly exaggerated. According to Sacnilk, the film collected around ₹3 crore nett in its first three days, which is significantly lower than the claimed numbers.
Netizens are trolling the makers for allegedly inflating the figures. While Leader has received relatively better reviews compared to The Legend, the controversial collection poster appears to be doing more harm than good, as the claimed numbers are nearly eight times higher than trade estimates. The film also features Shaam, Andrea Jeremiah, Santhosh Prathap, and Lal in key roles. Ghibran composed the tunes.
