Notably, the piracy website has a habit of changing its domain extension every few weeks and it can be accessed through proxy servers. The Gang Leader is a revenge comedy that centers around a group of bereaved women who are determined to avenge the death of their loved ones.
Nani, is the chief protagonist in the the film and other starcast include Priyanka Arul Mohan, Lakshmi, Saranya, Aneesh Kuruvilla, Priyadarshi, Raghubabu, Vennela Kishore, Jaija, Pranya and Sathya among others.
In Gang Leader, Vikram Kumar, who is also the film’s writer, plays into Nani’s strengths as a comedian. The women actors are said to have done a great job. Critics find the film predictable in parts, but it doesn’t make the revenge drama less entertaining.
