Earlier, the movie’s trailer has brought in some criticism as it shows Vijay cussing a lot. Addressing the controversy, director Lokesh Kanagaraj in a recent interview explained that the dialogue is presented by the character and not said by the actor. He justified the say as it is necessary to convey the exact emotion faced by the character of Parthiban in the scene. Interestingly, Mr Kanagaraj also expressed his willingness to take all the responsibilities with himself. ‘’And I’ll take all the blame. It was not mouthed by actor Thalapathy Vijay. It is said by Parthiban, his character in Leo’’, director added.
Another controversy has also haunted the movie. Around 1300 dancers of the song Naa Ready has reported that they had not received payment for their performance.
