After Gully Boy and Luka Chhupi, Amitabh Bachchan’s new film Badla has leaked online on piracy website TamilRockers one day after its release, a leading website reports. HD print copies of Badla are available for download on TamilRockers. Despite being banned continuously, TamilRockers ends up operating through new domains while users often access it through proxy servers.
Enough action has been taken against TamilRockers by law enforcement agencies as well as the Madras High Court but the website continues to function yet and upload high-resolution copies of films on its site. The report also states that box office collections of Badla might take a toll since copies of the film are available on TamilRockers. Badla has released in 1000 screens and earned over Rs 5 crore on its opening day on March 8.
