Clash in lead

Films clash all the time, and unless it's something like the Barbenheimer phenomena, they don't belong in the lead. Iknowthingsaboutstuff1 you need to explain why a competing film needs to be mentioned in this article's lead, along with the name of that film's leading actor?

Because it’s a clash that will inevitably affect the film’s box office performance so it need’s to be said. Iknowthingsaboutstuff1 (talk) 17:14, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cast

@Hammersoft: Is the general rule that the infobox and lead follows the opening credits and the cast section follows the end credits? Kaif’s name comes first in the beginning, Sethupathi’s comes first in the closing scroll [1]. This source is not considered a blog since the writer Anna M. M. Vetticad is significant.

There isn't a general rule I'm aware of. What is seriously problematic is untold numbers of fans of various movies who keep on changing the cast order to their preferred version without providing a reliable, secondary source that supports their preferred cast order. Instead, we gets tons and tons of people who provide no source at all, and a very few who provide a primary source which in this case is wholely unhelpful because many of the films are released in different regions and have different cast orders in various regions. It's seriously, seriously disruptive. --Hammersoft (talk) 01:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
