The full HD movie of Geetha Govindam starring Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika Mandanna was leaked on torrent sites and its free download is likely to affect its collection at the box office.
Two days before Geetha Govindam hit the screens, a lip-lock video featuring Vijay Devarakonda and Rashmika Mandanna was allegedly leaked on the internet and it has gone viral on the social media. A day later, some important scenes from the movie were leaked online and they were circulated on the social media.
When the makers of Geetha Govindam are yet to recover from those shocks, they are in for another one. A notorious gang has released the full movie on its website minutes after its matinee show got over. This website offers for download on six version of the complete film of different sizes.
The website reads, "Geetha Govindam (2018) Telugu Proper (Full Screen) Pre DVD - HQ Line Audio - [1080p - PreDVD - x264 - MP3 - 2.3GB] - [720p - PreDVD - x264 - MP3 - 1.4GB] - [PreDVD - 700MB - x264 - 1CD - MP3] - [PreDVD - XviD - 700MB - MP3] - [PreDVD - 400MB - x264 - MP3] - [PreDVD - 200MB - x264 - MP3] - [Watch Online]"
The producers have reportedly taken all precautionary measures to curb the piracy of Geetha Govindam. They have to take its pirated copy from this website immediately. Otherwise, there are chances of this copy spread to other torrent sites. If it spreads, the free download of the full movie is likely to take toll on its collection at the worldwide box office.
Directed by Parasuram, Geetha Govindam is romantic comedy movie that deals with story of an innocent guy (Vijay Devarakonda), who falls in love with a peppy girl (Rashmika Mandanna). The movie has struck a chord with audience and garnered positive talk from them.
Geetha Govindam will have repeat audience, but its pirated copy may pose a big threat for it, as some viewers might resort to free download of the movie to save money. The stakes are very high on the movie with its theatrical rights being sold for Rs 15 crore. Its free download or watching it online will likely eat into the share of its distributors to some extent.
