After accusations on Leo, Tirupur Subramaniam accuses Lalit Kumar of Master movie’s collections

Leo has started up a war of words between producer SS Lalit Kumar and TN Theatres Association President Tirupur Subramanyam. Subramanyam said that the producers are so greedy about money that the exhibitors are unable to make money in Leo as the distributor demands an 80% share which never happened in Tamil cinema.

Lalit Kumar responded to these allegations and said nothing has changed for Leo’s distributor’s terms and it is the same as what was there for Varisu. He further went on to add that TN Theatre Owners Association president Tirupur Subbramaniyan asked for the Coimbatore release of the film, But since he refused the demand, these allegations about Leo collections are being made. The producer added that terms that existed for Varisu are the same being followed for Leo in most areas excluding a few Centers.

Now Subramanyam has countered with the proofs and he also exposed the scam that happened during Vijay’s Master which was also produced by Lalit Kumar under the Seven Screen Studios banner. Master released during COVID time with 50% occupancy but the opening number in TN was publicized as more than 25Cr which shocked everyone as it is not possible to collect 25Cr gross with 50% occupancy.

Master went on to become a big hit and also the highest-share film in Vijay’s career. The Tamil Nadu trade stated that the Master share was bigger than Baahubali 2. This was quite a surprise for everyone as practically it’s not possible with 50% occupancy. Subramanyam has revealed that producer Lalit forced the theatre owner to sell the tickets price at double the rates and Subramanyam himself sold tickets for Rs 350. This unofficial hike in ticket prices is against the government-approved prices.
