The News Minute. The bilingual film U-Turn, which was simultaneously released both in Tamil and Telegu, clashed with Sivakarthikeyan-Samantha-starrer Seema Raja at the box office in Tamil Nadu, and with Naga Chaitanya-starrer
Shailaja Reddy Alludu
at the Telugu box office. In 2018 itself, there have been two separate instances of films leaking online. In January,
Aruvi
was leaked one day after it hitthe screens. However, the damage could be controlled to a large extent since the makers were successful in taking down the page that leaked the film. Similarly, 15 seconds of Rajnikath-starrer
Kaala
also got leaked online. While U-Turn is the official remake of the 2016 hit thriller of the same name, starring Shraddha Srinath and Roger Narayan, and directed by Pawan Kumar, Seema Raja is an action comedy.
