While there was initially a grand audio release function expected, the makers had earlier last week decided to directly release the audio. The makers of Kabali released two songs from the movie — Ulagam Oruvaukka and Vaanam Parthen — on YouTube on Saturday. The songs were released on YouTube ahead of scheduled release. While there was no official confirmation of the leak, many fans posted on social media sites urging people not to share the leaked songs and wait for the official release. The sudden release of the two songs online before 11.30 p.m. on Saturday itself was seen by the fans as a move by the makers to combat the leak.
