Salman's 'Sultan' leaked online before release
Synopsis
One of the year's most-awaited films, Sultan, was apparently leaked online yesterday. However, so far no police complaint has been lodged in this connection.
"If one tries proxy servers of other countries Sultan is out online. But if you try it here (in India), it is blocked. If one goes to watch it online, a message flash on websites that the content is removed as per Copyright Act," cyber crime expert Ritesh Bhatia, told PTI.
"It is unfortunate that films are getting leaked online before their official release. Proper action and investigation need to be done. It's the need of the hour," he added.
The producers of "Sultan", Yash Raj Films, however, denied that the film had been leaked online. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Salman's annual Eid release saw a bumper opening today with trade analysts predicting Rs 150 crore opening weekend business.
Salman is playing the titular role of a wrestler from Haryana, while Anushka Sharma is playing the female lead in the film.
