In response to these claims, Lalit Kumar stated that the conditions of Leo's distributor remain unchanged and are same to those that applied to Varisu. He continued by saying that Tirupur Subbramaniyan, the head of the TN Theatre Owners Association, had requested that the movie be released in Coimbatore. Because he had declined, he was accused of collecting illicit proceeds from Leo. With the exception of a few Centres, the producer stated that the terms that applied to Varisu also applied to Leo at the majority of locations.
Subramanyam has now responded with evidence and revealed the fraud that took place during the production of Vijay's master, which Lalit Kumar and Seven Screen Studios jointly produced. The master was published with 50% occupancy during the COVID period, but the Tennessee opening figure was revealed to be more than $25 million, shocking everyone because $25 million gross cannot be collected with 50% occupancy.
Master went on to become one of Vijay's biggest hits and the movie with the most shares during his career. According to the tamil Nadu trade, Master's share exceeded Baahubali 2. Everyone was quite surprised by this because, in actuality, 50% occupancy makes it impossible. According to subramanyam, the theatre owner was pressured by producer Lalit to sell seats at double the going rate, and subramanyam personally sold tickets for Rs 350. The rates set by the government are not being met by this unauthorised increase in ticket pricing.
