Since the early 2000s, the Telugu film industry appears to be facing a crisis of copyright infringement once again when leaked film CDs have joined Bootleg Shops and were shown on cable television within hours of release . The greatest films of 2024 have made films like Pushpa 2: The Rule, Kalki 2898 AD, Devara: Part 1, and Hanuman become India’s top growers.

But there’s very little after this year, and films like Game Changer and Thandel are prey to copyright infringement, and HD prints are leaking online. Tollywood filmmakers like Allu Aravind, Bunny Vas and Dil Raju, as well as actors like Vishwak Sen and Anjali are talking about the issue, revealing that the industry is ready to fight back.
Complaints have been filed and arrests have been made, but at the end of everything, change must come from the people. These filmmakers encourage audiences to watch the film in theaters.
Tandel was shown on APSRTC bus
Since Chandhu Mondeti’s Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi Starr’s Tander Hit Screen, the film has performed and collected well all over the world £62 crore gross by the first weekend. However, film producers Aravind and Vas were shocked to see them being screened on the APSRTC (Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation) bus via cable networks. According to Aravind, the HD prints of the film were also distributed to WhatsApp and Telegram groups.
“Thanks to our efforts and the advent of OTT, piracy has been reduced for a while, but it’s once again cultivating ugly heads. We want to suppress it now before dealing more damage. Speaking to the Hyderabad press, Aravind added, “We will file a complaint and arrest will soon be made,” and it is illegal for people to upload and download such prints. It seems he’s forgotten something. Is it out of innocence that the film is being shown on the government RTC bus? It’s hard to watch when the film is on track, but these things happen,” he said.
Vas also revealed that they will pursue and take the perpetrator to court, as when Geetha Govindam and Taxiwaala prints leaked. “These people are still suffering in prison. We don’t leave anyone behind. Tander’s overseas prints were shown on the RTC bus from Paratha to Vijayawada. About this Pawan Kalyan (AP’s AP’s We will fight back because it will affect the box office revenues.” APSRTC Chairman Konakalla Narayana Rao ordered an investigation into it.
Vas and Aravind urged people to let them know if they encountered a leaked print of Tandel. The film chamber also has anti-piracy cells to tackle these issues.
The threat of increasing HD printing
Unfortunately, fan wars and trolling on social media have become the norm for any celebrities. There is an increasing threat of leaking HD printing of films online for a variety of reasons. Vishwak Sen spoke to the press this weekend to apologise for the political statement by Puldvi in his co-star, “30 Years.” He reveals that he has since been threatened with tears.
“25,000 tweets have been saying boycott lyra as Puldvi made political comments. Some people are threatening to leak HD prints of the film on the first day. This happens at our event. I apologize. I’m not well versed enough to speak politics. I’m only 29 years old. I’m heartbroken because we worked so hard on this film,” he pleaded. . Also, the producer who existed, Saf Galapati, made it clear that if people are good at threat, he would follow Aravind’s lead and take legal action.
This comes after Shankar’s Ram Charan, Chiara Advani Star’s Game Changer was also broadcast illegally on cable TV channels and leaked online after it was released in January. Producer Dil Raju filed cyber complaints against 45 individuals, claiming the film was leaked because it failed to comply with the demand for fear tor. He told the audience, “Don’t encourage piracy on buses or elsewhere. There’s a lot of hard work to make movies and you’ve got the best experience in the theatre.
Anjali, who appeared in the film, said, “As an actor, I can only be responsible for how well I played my character. I hope the film works at the box office. But I’d say that Beyond, we need more time to talk about game changers than we have. Everyone knows why I say it. Sometimes we get hurt. It’s It hurts so badly. So that’s all.”
