The news of leak came after S Thanu, the film’s producer, obtained an injunction order from the Madras High Court which restrained around 169 websites from indulging in piracy.

Pahlaj Nihalani, the Censor Board chief, has expressed a huge concern over big banner films being leaked online. While talking to DNA about the issue he said, “They have not spared Rajinikanth either! Kabali was censored in Chennai, so it had nothing to do with our office in Mumbai. Earlier there was Salman Khan’s Sultan. I don’t think collections of films with iconic stars will get affected by the leakage. It is the smaller films featuring non-A-listers which get hit by the leakage. Great Grand Masti is a case in point.”
Recently, Salman Khan’s Sultan was leaked online a day before its release. After that Ritiesh Deshmukh’s Great Grand Masti was available for download three weeks before it came on theaters. Post the leak, the makers were forced to prepone the film’s release date. Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s Udta Punjab also became a victim of this online piracy scandal.
