Allu Arjun's DJ aka Duvvada Jagannadham, which was released in theatres on June 23, was leaked online a few days after it hit the screens. Dil Raju, the boss of Sri Venkateswara Creations (SVC), warned against its piracy. The producer tweeted on June 26: "Please refrain from uploading pirated copies of #DJ on any digital platform. Criminal cases will be filed with the Police on all offenders."

They approached Cyber Crime ACP and filed complaints against the culprits. Dil Raju tweeted: "Filed complaints against multiple FB ids and social media handles regarding #DuvvadaJagannadham piracy.
