Pawan Kalayan's most-awaited film "Atharintiki Daaredi" (AD) has been leaked online even before its theatrical release, shocking the entire Telugu film industry (TFI).
"Atharintiki Daaredi", which was facing release issues due to the political unrest in Andhra Pradesh, was slated to hit the screens on 9 October to cash in on the Dussehra holidays. Unfortunately, an illegal copy of the film was released online on Saturday prior to its release.
Producer BVSN Prasad will soon file a complaint with the cyber crime cell and request them to take immediate action. People who come across illegal links of the film have been asked to send the links to ad@apfilmchamber.com.
Several members of the TFI have come in support of "AD" and condemned the criminal act.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu tweeted, "#Support AD.. There was a lot of hardwork and a lot of money invested.. Let good cinema win.. Our humble request."
Siddarth: "A film leaking before release is unforgivable and a tragedy. And for it to happen to the biggest telugu film of the year is shocking."
