Suriya’s ‘Masss’ poster not copied

Filmmaker Venkat Prabhu has quashed rumours that the first look poster of his upcoming Tamil directorial “Masss”, which was unveiled recently, is copied from one of the posters of English film “Bourne Ultimatum”.

Prabhu explained that the poster was shot using a popular style called mugshot, which has been used by several Hollywood films.

“A section of the audience claims the first look poster of ‘Masss’ is copied from a popular Hollywood film. Well, to clarify all the doubters and those who claim it as a copy, here we go. This is a style called mugshot, which has been used by many Hollywood movies. So, we suggest the fans of Tamil cinema to take a deep look before coloring anything as a copy,” he said.

Prabhu also posted the posters of some English films such as “The Grey” and “Salt” that have used the mugshot. The poster of “Masss”, which features Suriya, shows a photographic portrait of the actor’s face.
