In a week filled with electrifying cinematic experiences, 'Jailer' and 'Leo', two highly anticipated movies, took the world by storm, thanks to the mesmerizing tunes of music maestro Anirudh. However, amidst the applause and excitement, a controversy brewed on the internet, leaving netizens abuzz and artists embroiled in discussions.
'Leo', an action-packed thriller helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by S. S. Lalit Kumar and Jagadish Palanisamy, made its grand debut on October 19th. The movie featuring a star-studded ensemble cast including Vijay, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun, Trisha, Madonna Sebastian, Mysskin, Mansoor Ali Khan, George Maryan, Priya Anand, and Mathew Thomas, swiftly captured the hearts of audiences worldwide, accumulating a staggering 500 crores in just one week.
Amidst this success, a storm brewed online. Netizens took to various platforms, pointing out alleged similarities between a song from 'Leo' titled 'Ordinary Person' and a track from the album "Where Are You" by Belarusian musician Otnicka. Fans fervently discussed this, prompting Otnicka himself to address the issue.
In a post, he expressed gratitude for the attention but clarified his lack of clarity on the controversy. "Guys, thanks for hundreds of your messages about the movie "Leo". I can see everything, but it's physically impossible to answer everyone,"
"The mail is overflowing with messages, Instagram, as well as thousands of comments on YouTube under the video "Where Are You". The situation is very unclear. We are looking into this and a little later I will give an assessment of everything that is happening. But I'm not accusing anyone yet. ! Important ! One of the authors of "Otnicka - Where Are You" is also a composer Artem Mikhaenkin - @mihaenkin", he wrote.
Despite the online chatter, both 'Jailer' and 'Leo' continued to captivate audiences with their gripping storylines, breathtaking visuals, and exceptional performances especially Vijay's stellar acting prowess. Manoj Paramahamsa handled the brilliant cinematography and Philomin Raj took care of editing.
