Thalapathy Vijay’s Film Leaked in HD Before Release
Chennai: South superstar Vijay's highly anticipated film, Jana Nayagan, has been leaked online in HD quality even before its release. This incident has dealt a major blow to the Tamil film industry. Several scenes from the film are going viral on social media and other digital platforms.
The Cyber Crime Wing of the Tamil Nadu Police has taken immediate action and launched an investigation into the matter. The case was registered based on a complaint filed by the production company, KVN Productions. The complaint names 21 individuals who are accused of illegally accessing, downloading, and sharing footage from the film.
Vijay’s ‘Jana Nayagan’ footage leaked online before release; Film industry reacts strongly
In his complaint, Production Controller R. Udayakumar has demanded that the police immediately remove the leaked content from all platforms. Additionally, the electronic devices of those involved - such as mobile phones, laptops, and cloud accounts - be seized, and the entire network be investigated to identify all the culprits.
The filmmakers stated that Jana Nayagan is a big-budget film, involving significant investment and extensive work. Therefore, a pre-release leak could severely impact its earnings and box office performance.
The film has already faced delays due to a dispute with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). It was reported that there were objections to the film's portrayal of the defense forces. However, this dispute was later resolved.
Following the leak, allegations were leveled against the CBFC on social media, but the board has dismissed these claims. Several film stars, including Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Chiranjeevi, have also responded to the issue.
Police stated that cyber forensic teams have been deployed to trace the source of the leak. Further strict action is likely in the case, so that the film industry can be saved from such cases.
