The
much-hyped
Varun
Tej
starrer
Antariksham
9000
KMPH
hit
the
screens
on
December
21,
2018
alongside
a
host
of
other
big
releases.
While
the
movie
received
a
decent
response
from
the
fans
and
the
critics,
it
simply
failed
to
hold
its
own
against
the
the
the
other
releases
and
ended
up
being
a
triple
disaster.
This
was
a
big
setback
for
the
'Mega
Prince' and
one
of
the
most
unpleasant
surprises
of
2018.
Antariksham
9000
KMPH
had
its
digital
premiere
on
Amazon
Prime
a
couple
of
days
ago
and
it
grabbed
plenty
of
attention.
Now,
it
seems
to
have
fallen
prey
to
piracy.
Antariksham
9000
KMPH
Leaked
In
HD
With
Subtitles
Antariksham
9000
KMPH
has
been
leaked
online
in
HD
quality
with
English
subtitles
by
the
Tamilrockers.
The
leak
happened
hours
after
it
went
live
on
Amazon
Prime
and
it
is
bound
to
ruffle
a
few
feathers.
Will
The
Viewership
Be
Affected?
Being
an
ambitious
and
big
film
Antariksham
9000
KMPH
has
the
potential
to
bring
more
subscribers
to
the
digital
platform.
Moreover,
as
Amazon
Prime
is
an
international
platform,
it
has
the
potential
to
help
it
reach
a
global
audience.
As
the
digital
version
has
been
leaked,
the
official
viewership
numbers
will
be
affected.
The
Background
The
notorious
gang
Tamilrockers
is
infamous
for
leaking
full
movies
online
after
their
release.
Last
year,
big
films
such
as
Aravinda
Sametha
and
2.0
felt
the
wrath
of
Tamilrockers
and
suffered
in
a
major
way.
Tamilrockers
also
leaked
the
Bollywood
biggies
Thugs
Of
Hindostan
and
Zero
on
the
day
of
release.
Unfortunately,
last
year,
they
also
leaked
the
popular
Tamil
web
series
Vella
Raja
and
proved
that
OTTs
are
not
beyond
their
reach.
To
Conclude...
Piracy
is
a
heartless
and
disgraceful
crime
and
it
cannot
be
tolerated
under
any
circumstances.
In
the
past,
stars
such
as
Vishal
and
Vijay
Deverakonda
have
addressed
piracy
and
asked
the
fans
to
refrain
from
encouraging
it
directly
or
indirectly.
Similarly,
several
websites
have
been
blocked.
While
this
has
improved
the
situation
a
bit.
,
the
problem
still
remains
unsolved.
Let
us
hope
that
those
in
power
come
up
with
a
concrete
way
to
curb
piracy
at
the
earliest.
