Tamil Rockers, a Tamil piracy website, tweeted on their alleged official Twitter page that "A big foolish #producer has given an idea for everyone about live stream, and he is getting payback now.”
Later, they tweeted that about 60000 people log in on their website which made the site slow and also mentioned that a new print will be uploaded soon.
Last week producer Gnanavel Raja, lashed out at Tamil Rockers for releasing pirated versions of latest films online. The website, who are responsible for illegally streaming Tamil films, had then declared that they would be streaming the film on the day of its release.
This site announced this on their Facebook page, “#Gnanavel Raja Nice speech, sir (sic) #MarkYourCalender February 9th is not your day our day.. #TamilRockers.”
Ahead of Singam 3 release, actor Suriya had also posted a video on Twitter urging his fans to watch the film only in theatres.

Singam 3 will be one of Suriya’s biggest release this year featuring stars Anushka Shetty, Shruti Haasan and TV actor Thakur Anoop Singh. As per reports, S3 has already collected Rs 100 crore as part of theatrical and satellite rights.
