Pailwaan Team Seeks Legal Help Following Online Leak; Aren't Enjoying The Moment Because Of Piracy
Pailwaan team has gone ahead to seek legal help to curb the ongoing issue. They have already got their hands on over 300 links that shared Sudeep's film on the internet.
Pailwaan
which
hit
the
theatres
on
September
12
opened
to
decent
reviews,
but
unfortunately
fell
prey
to
piracy
within
hours
of
its
release.
Having
been
produced
on
such
a
large
scale,
the
makers
have
to
say
that
the
film
has
incurred
major
losses
due
to
its
online
leak.
Although,
several
sites
for
a
long
time
now
have
been
giving
the
viewers
access
to
new
releases
illegally,
Pailwaan
team
has
gone
ahead
to
seek
legal
help
to
curb
the
ongoing
issue.
They
have
already
got
their
hands
on
over
300
links
that
shared
the
film
on
the
internet.
Producer
Swapna
Krishna
told
Times
of
India,
"Our
first
film
has
just
hit
theatres
and
we
haven't
been
able
to
enjoy
the
moment
because
of
the
piracy.
Over
the
weekend,
the
anti-piracy
company
that
we
had
tied
up
with
closed
over
300
links
that
shared
the
film."
"We
have,
since,
taken
note
of
repeated
offenders,
whose
channels
had
shared
the
film
on
a
video-sharing
site,
as
well
as
IP
addresses
of
those
who
have
shared
it
on
social
media,
etc.
We
also
have
screenshots
of
WhatsApp
conversations
encouraging
people
to
watch
the
pirated
version
of
the
film," she
further
added.
While
the
members
of
the
film
fraternity
are
trying
hard
to
put
an
end
to
the
unethical
act,
Pailwaan's
leak
has
led
to
a
major
dispute
between
Sudeep
and
Darshan's
fans
on
social
media.
The
latter's
fans
have
to
say
that
they
are
being
unreasonably
accused
and
blamed
for
an
act
that
they
weren't
involved
in.
On
the
other
end,
Sudeepians
are
holding
back
from
pointing
fingers
at
Darshan's
fans,
naming
them
responsible.
However,
Swapna
Krishna
chose
not
to
comment
on
the
issues
as
she's
only
focusing
on
curbing
online
piracy,
which
has
become
the
need
of
the
hour.
She
added,
"Our
idea
is
to
take
this
step
as
a
measure
to
curb
piracy
in
the
industry.
We
hope
that
with
us,
as
a
team,
taking
up
the
case
and
fighting
it,
it
will
dissuade
people
from
engaging
in
piracy
henceforth."
