According to  India Today Love Aaj Kal was leaked a day after its release. However, Pinkvilla  writes  HD prints of Vijay Deverakonda ’s Telugu romantic drama was made available on piracy sites like Bit torrent, Movierulz, and Tamilrockers. Piracy has been a major problem for filmmakers as the box office collections get affected. Tamilrockers has become infamous for leaking a slew of highly anticipated South Indian, Hollywood, and Bollywood films within a day of their theatrical release. Despite several complaints, ban, and strict action by the court, the filmmakers have failed to fight the menace of piracy, particularly by Tamilrockers. A lot of attempts have been made to stop the menace of online piracy. However, websites like Tamilrockers operate with impunity. Earlier this year, members of the Film Federation of India (FFI) had also asked for the Cinematograph Act to be amended in February. The government, in its response, introduced a bill in Rajya Sabha to impose a strict penalty to combat piracy.  The Indian Express  previously reported the website keeps switching its domain extension to avoid being caught, and can only be accessed through a proxy server. n the recent past, major big-budget films, including  Mardaani 2 Jumanji: The Next Level Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy War Darbar   Jaawani Jaaneman, Bad Boys for Life,  Aswathama, Pati Patni Aur Woh Dream Girl,   Kaappaan ,   Saaho ,   Judgementall Hai Kya ,   Kabir Singh ,   Bharat,   _ India’s Most Wanted Kalank Gully Boy De De Pyaar De Student of the Year 2 Thugs of Hindostan, _ and  Simmba  are the latest victims of piracy.
