Published

on

The much-awaited trailer of Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo was officially unveiled by the makers on Thursday (October 5). It was also screened at Rohini Silverscreens in Chennai and free entry was provided for Vijay’s fans for the event.

However, hundreds of fans who gathered at the cinema hall to witness the trailer on the big screen were accused of creating ruckus at the venue and damaging the properties inside the theatre.

Several inside visuals of the cinema hall have surfaced on social media. Post the trailer screening, the theatre was found in a messy condition. Several seats were also broken. One of the videos also shows members of Vijay Makkal Iyakkam (VMI) inside the theatre premises.

The management initially requested permission to hold the trailer screening event outdoors. However, the police denied this request and instead suggested holding a screening inside the premises. Additionally, they provided police protection for the event.

Several fans, who attended the event, also shared the videos on social media and reportedly accused the theatre owners of mismanagement.

Fans of Thalapathy Vijay are leaving no stone unturned to express their excitement over the release of Leo trailer.

Several theaters in Tamil Nadu also organised screenings for the trailer on October 5. According to media reports, in Tirupur, fans experienced a delay in entering the theater due to a slight confusion regarding the timing of the screening. This might have caused some inconvenience for the attendees.

In one of the theaters in Madurai, fans celebrated the trailer release by pouring milk on a poster of Vijay. This is a common way for fans to express their excitement and admiration for their favourite celebrity.

The makers of Leo earlier revealed the official posters of the film in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Two songs from the film Naa Ready and Badass are already out on YouTube.

Leo marks the second collaboration between director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Vijay after their 2021 film Master. The 49-year old actor plays the titular role as Leo Das. The film also stars Trisha Krishnan, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, Harold Das, Trisha, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Mysskin, Maya S Krishnan, Mathew Thomas, Mansoor Ali Khan and Priya Anand.

Leo will release in cinemas on October 19, 2023.

SC permits Ranveer Allahbadia to resume airing his shows

Published

on

New Delhi, March 3: The Supreme Court on Monday permitted popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia to resume airing his podcast on the condition that he will maintain the “standards of decency and morality”.

Allahbadia and several other YouTubers, including Ashish Chanchlani and Apoorva Mukhija, have been embroiled in the controversy for vulgar and crass comments made during an episode of Samay Raina’s ‘India’s Got Latent’ show.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N. Kotiswar Singh relaxed an earlier condition which had prohibited Allahbadia or his associates from airing any show on YouTube or any other audio/video visual mode of communication till further orders.

During the hearing, the Justice Kant-led Bench asked the Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, the second highest law officer of the Centre, to consider regulating the content in online media.

“We don’t want any regulatory regime which leads to censorship, but it can’t be a free for all,” it said.

The apex court clarified that Allahbadia’s shows should not comment upon the proceedings which are sub-judice.

Earlier, on February 18, the top court had stayed Allahbadia’s arrest subject to the condition that he would join the investigation, as and when summoned by the Investigating Officers.

“The interim protection against arrest is granted further subject to the condition that the petitioner will extend full cooperation to the ongoing investigation,” it had ordered.

The Supreme Court had added that no further FIR would be registered against Allahbadia on the basis of the episode aired on the show ‘India’s Got Latent’, for which two-three FIRs have already been registered.

Amid the controversy, Samay Raina had removed all videos of the show from YouTube, asserting that his intention was only to entertain and make people laugh.

Several complaints seeking legal action have been filed against popular YouTubers Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahabadia, Ashish Chanchlani, and Apoorva Mukhija over allegedly obscene and offensive remarks about parents in the comedy show ‘India’s Got Latent’.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the incident has sparked a broader debate about the limits of comedy and the responsibility of content creators on digital platforms.
