There have been reports that footage from Mahesh Babu's upcoming Telugu-Tamil bilingual Spyder has been leaked. Earlier this week, there were also rumours that a few minutes of a song were leaked. The team has now rubbished these reports. A source says, "It's not true. We have been monitoring to ensure that such things don't happen."

Directed by AR Murugadoss, Mahesh Babu plays an intelligent bureau officer in the film, while Rakul Preet Singh plays the female lead, and SJ Suryah will be seen as the antagonist. Spyder marks the first time Murugadoss is collaborating with Mahesh, and it is also the filmmaker's first bilingual project.
