Taxiwala
Falls
Prey
To
Piracy
According
to
a
leading
website,
the
full
movie
has
been
leaked
online
for
'free
downloading'
even
before
its
release.
Apparently,
a
group
of
miscreants
leaked
an
'unfinished'
copy
of
Taxiwala
some
time
ago
and
the
same
links
are
going
viral
now.
Vijay
Deverakonda
Condemns
The
Leak
Condemning
the
leak,
Vijay
Deverakonda
released
a
video
and
asked
his
fans
to
refrain
from
watching
the
pirated
movie.
He
also
compared
the
unfinished
film
to
a
bowl
of
uncooked
pasta
and
used
humour
to
make
his
point.
Commenting
on
the
matter,
he
added
that
the
government
should
act
against
such
miscreants
and
put
an
end
to
piracy.
His
Exact
Words
"We
made
our
point
through
laughter
rather
than
rage
and
tears.
Those
who
do
these
things
(film
piracy)
are
not
going
to
be
daunted
by
threats
or
emotional
ourbursts.
Until
the
government
clamps
down
heavily
on
piracy
I
feel
the
best
way
to
combat
the
menace
is
to
appeal
to
fans."

The
Background
Piracy
is
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
facing
the
film
industry
today.
Recently,
the
Tamil
biggie,
Sarkar
was
leaked
online
within
a
day
of
its
release
and
this
took
a
toll
on
its
collections.
Similarly,
the
Tollywood
action-drama
Aravinda
Sametha
and
the
Bollywood
film
Thugs
Of
Hindostan
too
fell
prey
to
piracy
within
hours
of
hitting
the
screens.
To
Conclude...
In
the
past,
several
government
agencies
have
taken
steps
to
curb
the
menace
of
piracy.
However,
the
problem
clearly
still
persists.
Let
us
hope
that
a
concrete
solution
is
found
at
the
earliest.
Piracy
is
totally
unacceptable
and
it
must
not
be
overlooked
under
any
circumstances.
