If you are yet to watch Suriya's latest film Scene, read no further for we are going to drop a major spoiler here. Before the release of the film, there had been much speculation among audiences that Suriya plays a blind man in the film. While the film's dialogue writer Dravid Selvam told Cinema Express that the speculation is wrong, it turned out to be correct as audiences have discovered after its release in theatres.
At the time, a section of viewers started wondering whether fan theories have been proven right in a rare instance in Tamil cinema. However, Jithu Madhavan recently said that it is not a fan theory or speculation but leaked news.
Speaking to Cineulagam recently, Jithu said, "It is not a fan theory or assumption but rather leaked news. It came out before we had released even the first look of the film." The filmmaker added that the first half of Scene is built entirely around the surprise element, with the true nature of Suriya's character being revealed halfway through the interval. The director shared that he felt quite scared about how the film would play out in theatres as the major plot element has already been leaked. He added that the leak happened after the shoot of the film. "We were quite careful not to leak it during the shoot, but someone leaked it in the post-production phase," the director revealed.
Despite this, Scene has earned much praise from critics and viewers and has been performing phenomenally well at the box office so far. Over the first five days of its release, the film has earned around 175 crore from theatres worldwide, according to data from Sacnilk.
