Talking about how the actor landed up the film, Rajinikanth earlier said, “After watching Ramana, I asked Murugadoss if he has got a script for me and it has taken these many years for a project to come along. The director approached me with the Darbar script after the release of Petta.”
While fans are showering love on Darbar, the film has been leaked online by piracy website TamilRockers for download. Fans of the superstar earlier vowed to fight piracy and will watch it only in theaters. Nonetheless, the availability of the film online can leave an impact on its total box office collection.
