Kerala's 'cyberdome' stumble upon pirated version of 'Kabali' online
Synopsis
Just hours after the release of the Rajinikanth-starrer 'Kabali' in India on Friday, a special wing of the Kerala cyber police, known as the 'Cyberdome', has found a pirated version of the movie in two websites. It is reported that by now the version has already been downloaded at various points.
Cyberdome officials said that the producers of 'Kabali' would be appraised about the movie's online leak.

Just a day prior to the release, the introduction scene of the movie had circulated on the messaging platform Whatsapp. The two-minute long video showed Rajinikanth sitting in jail and reading a book called "My Father Baliah." He closes the book and walks out after shaking hands with a prisoner in the adjacent cell.
Earlier, following a writ petition filed by Kabali producer S Thanu , the Madras High Court had passed an interim order restraining 169 registered ISPs in India from allowing illegal downloads of the movie.
