The Chennai police on Sunday reportedly arrested an employee of a mixing studio on charge of leaking the first look teaser of Vijay's upcoming film "Puli" online.

The makers of "Puli" had planned to release the teaser on Sunday midnight as a birthday gift to Vijay, who turns 41 on Monday. However, Mithun allegedly released the clip on the Internet on Saturday night, a day before its official release. The teaser, which was secretly filmed at the mixing studio, got circulated very fast on WhatsApp and other social networking sites.

The makers of the big budget film had tried their best not to allow the leak of its pictures, videos and other details. They were badly upset over the alleged leak of the teaser and filed a complaint with the Chennai police on Sunday morning and requested them for speedy action.

Soon after receiving the complaint, the police started investigating the case and were successful in nabbing the suspect by the evening. Some reports suggested that the police were interrogating Mithun in their custody. They were expected to reveal more details about the case late in the evening.
