NTR
Kathanayakudu,
a
tribute
to
former
Andhra
Pradesh
Chief
Minister
and
matinee
idol
NTR,
hit
screens
last
month
amidst
much
fanfare
and
opened
to
a
decent
response
at
the
box
office.
However,
the
magnum
opus
sank
in
the
following
days
and
ended
up
being
a
disaster.
Nearly
a
month
later,
Balakrishna
is
back
with
the
film's
sequel
NTR
Mahanayakudu
which
hit
screens
today
(February
22,
2019).
Directed
by
Krish,
the
film
revolves
around
NTR's
political
life
and
his
bond
with
his
ailing
wife.
NTR
Mahanayakudu
has
not
taken
a
good
opening
at
the
box
office.
Now,
here
is
some
more
bad
news
for
those
associated
with
the
film.
NTR
Mahanayakudu
Falls
Prey
To
Piracy
In
an
unfortunate
and
unacceptable
development,
the
full
movie
has
been
leaked
online
by
Tamilrockers
and
is
available
for
download.
The
leaked
version
is
apparently
of
ordinary
audio
and
video
quality.
The
leak
is
a
heartless
act
and
might
ruffle
a
few
feathers
NBK
Fans
Condemn
The
Leak
Balakrishna
fans
are
unhappy
about
the
leak
and
have
condemned
the
cowardly
act.
They
have
also
requested
movie
buffs
to
refrain
from
downloading
the
leaked
version.
Some
fans
have
even
gone
to
the
extent
of
asking
the
athourities
to
punish
those
behind
the
leak.
Box
Office
Collections
To
Be
Affected?
NTR
Mahanayakudu
is
a
fairly
ambitious
film
and
has
been
shot
against
an
impressive
budget.
It
needs
to
have
a
good
and
long
run
at
the
box
office
in
order
to
emerge
as
a
success.
As
the
full
movie
has
been
leaked
online,
the
box
office
collections
are
likely
to
be
affected
big
time.
The
Background
Tamilrockers
has
been
a
pain
in
the
neck
for
the
entire
film
fraternity
for
quite
some
time
now.
Aravinda
Sametha,
Taxiwala
and
F2
are
just
a
few
of
the
Tollywood
movies
that
suffered
because
of
Tamilrockers.
The
group
has
also
leaked
Hindi
films
such
as
Zero,
Simmba
and
Ek
Ladki
Ko
Dekha
Toh
Aisa
Laga.
To
Conclude…
Actors
like
Vijay
Deverakonda
and
Vishal
have
often
spoken
about
the
need
to
combat
piracy.
They
have
also
urged
fans
to
refrain
from
supporting
piracy
under
any
circumstances.
Moreover,
quite
a
few
illegal
websites
have
been
blocked
for
promoting
piracy.
Despite
these
developments,
the
menace
of
piracy
continues
to
haunt
the
film
industry.
It
is
imperative
for
those
in
authority
to
find
a
concrete
and
permanent
solution
to
the
problem
of
piracy.
