The support and encouragement from his wife Sravani (Samantha) brings him out of his lull. The film also witnesses Subba Raju, Posani Krishna Murali and Ramesh Rao play pivotal roles. In the recent past, Tamil Rockers has become infamous for leaking a long list of big budget movies. Popular South Indian films, including
Petta ,
Viswasam ,
Vanathaan Rajavathaan Varuven ,
Super Deluxe and
_Thadam_ were leaked within a day of their release. Tamil Rockers is also responsible for leaking Bollywood films like
Gully Boy and
Thugs of Hindostan . Most recently, John Abraham’s espionage drama
Romeo Akbar Walter also fell prey to piracy. Despite having been banned by the government, the piracy site remains a threat as it continues to leak new movies online on the first day of release. In February, members of the Film Federation of India (FFI) had asked that more government attention should be paid to issues pertaining to online piracy as it is a
growing concern for the Indian film industries at large. Despite action by law enforcement agencies and even interventions by courts, including the
Madras High Court , Tamil Rockers operates with impunity.
Two days after Majili hit screens on 5 April, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Akkineni’s romantic drama was leaked online by notorious piracy website Tamil Rockers.
