Mazaka Title Card Copy from Vijay’s LEO: Sundeep Kishan Trolled

February 26, 2025

Sundeep Kishan’s latest film Mazaka, directed by Trinadha Rao Nakkina and written by Prasanna Kumar Bezawada, is a mass entertainer packed with comedy, romance and family drama.

The film follows Trinadha Rao Nakkina’s usual template, blending middle-class sentiment with massy entertainment. However, the cringe factor is high, making the humor feel forced many times.

While certain sequences land well, the film loses its emotional depth under the weight of over-the-top moments.

One of the biggest talking points, though, is Sundeep Kishan’s title card, which has drawn heavy trolling.

At the start of the film, his title card is almost identical to Thalapathy Vijay’s grand introduction title card in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Leo. It even has a similar font and presentation.

While Leo’s title card, accompanied by Anirudh’s electrifying BGM, left a strong impact, Sundeep’s version is being called out for being a desperate cheap copy.

Social media users are pointing out that Sundeep isn’t at a star level where such a title card is justified. Many feel that trying to replicate Leo’s style without the same aura or career has only backfired.

One user wrote, “Would be foolish to expect originality from a film that starts with a copied hero title card.”
