Much to the producers’ dismay, TamilRockers also upload HD versions of the films – another leading website reports. Films including Uri: The Surgical Strike, Viswasam, Petta, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and The Accidental Prime Minister, were also leaked on TamilRockers.
Not just Indian films but the website also reports that Hollywood movies such as Aquaman and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, were also found on the website. In order to stop piracy, the Producers' Guild in South has also been fighting a battle against TamilRockers.
Meanwhile, Gully Boy has been faring exceptionally well at the box office. The film earned Rs 18.70 crore on the first day of its release.
