The full movie of Brand Babu starring Sumanth Shailendra, Eesha Rebba and Murali Sharma was leaked on several torrent sites and this free downloading could impact its collection at the box office.
Brand Babu has reportedly been released on a few illegal websites just a day after it hit the screens. The pirated copy is said to be recorded during the screening of the movie in a theatre and has a bad audio and video quality.
The same pirated copy has already made its way to other torrent sites. The makers of the film are trying to take it down from the internet, however, there are a couple of other websites that still have the pirated copy.
An illegal website is offering five different prints of Brand Babu for download. A statement with links featured on the website reads, "Brand Babu (2018) Telugu HQ DVDScr - [1080p - DVDScr - x264 - MP3 - 2.1GB] - [720p - DVDScr - x264 - MP3 - 1.4GB] - [DVDScr - 700MB - x264 - 1CD - MP3] - [DVDScr - XviD - 700MB - MP3] - [DVDScr - 400MB - x264 - MP3] - [DVDScr - 200MB - x264 - MP3] - [Watch Online] - First On NET [sic]"
Brand Babu is a small-budget movie that marks the debut of Sumanth Shailendra as a Tollywood hero. Producer Shailendra has not compromised on its production and has promoted it masterfully in order to give a break for his son in the film industry. However, the film opened to an average response and made poor collections at the worldwide box office in its first weekend.
Brand Babu is a romantic comedy movie that revolves around the story of Diamond Babu (Sumanth Shailendra), who is from a brand-conscious family. He dates the home minister's daughter (Poojitha Ponnada), however, ends up falling in love with the maid (Eesha Rebba). What happens next is the crux of the plotline.
Brand Babu was successful in striking a chord with the filmgoers. However, it suffered a major setback at the box office, due to unavailability of screens. It had also faced competition from Goodachari and Chi La Sow. Now, the film is facing another problem in the form of its piracy. With the film not being released at several theatres, some viewers have resorted to free downloading of the movie, which is likely to incur losses to its distributors.
