The
blockbuster
hit
movie
Bahaddur,
starring
Action
prince
Dhruv
Sarja
and
Radhika
Pandit
and
directed
by
Chetan
Kumar,
has
been
hit
by
piracy
problem.
This
is
not
the
first
time
that
a
Kannada
movie
has
been
in
trouble
due
to
piracy.
The
Kannada
film
industry
has
been
fighting
a
battle
against
Piracy
for
a
ling
time.
Unfortunately,
there
are
no
stringent
laws
against
Piracy
in
state.
Due
to
this,
the
producers
are
toothless
in
their
crusade
against
this
menace.
Producers
often
take
loans
worth
crores
of
rupees
to
make
a
movie.
In
such
cases,
piracy
hits
the
producers
badly
and
effect
their
earning
from
the
box
office.
Bahaddur
is
still
going
strong
after
completing
50
days
in
more
than
65
theatres
across
the
state.
The
movie
has
now
come
in
the
list
of
movies
that
has
been
badly
hit
by
piracy
problem.
The
problem
started
when
the
full
length
movie
was
uploaded
on
YouTube
by
some
miscreant
which
soon
after
was
available
for
download
on
the
Torrents.
It
has
been
reported
that
the
movie
has
been
downloaded
75
thousand
times
on
torrents
alone.
The
movie
has
been
deleted
thrice
from
YouTube.
However,
YouTube
is
not
long
complying
to
the
producers
request
saying
that
full
length
movie
cannot
be
uploaded
without
proper
identification.
Therefore,
the
producers
have
put
asked
filed
a
complaint
with
the
cyber
crime
department.
Talking
to
Filmibeat,
the
director
of
the
movie
Chethan
said
that
the
officials
in
the
Cyber
Crime
department
have
promised
to
trace
the
IP
address
of
the
culprit
and
bring
them
to
justice.
