It was previously reported that the piracy website Tamil Rockers, through an unverified Twitter handle, had threatened to leak Rajinikanth’s upcoming sci-fi film 2.0 online . However, the original website now claims to not have presence on any social media platform, reports New Indian Express.

If someone posts anything using our name on social networks, Then that should be fake. Please don’t believe on those kind of id’s and rumours spread by them (sic).” According to
India Today, the tweet from the now suspended Twitter handle read, “#2Point0 Coming Soon in Tamil Rockers.” Later the Twitter handle was suspended but within a few minutes, a new handle was also created by the miscreants. “#2Point0 #2point0November #2Point0FromNov29 #Rajinikanth #Rajini #SuperStar #TR #TamilRockers. Our Old Account Suspended @TamilRockersMV.” Tamil Rockers and similar piracy websites remain a menace to the film industry. Films like Vada Chennai , Sarkar and Thugs of Hindostan were leaked online just before they released in cinemas. In the past, Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane’s Netflix series
Sacred Games , Kamal Haasan’s
Vishwaroopam 2 and Rajinikanth-starrer

Indian Express. Members of the site were booked and arrested by the anti-piracy cell for uploading pirated versions of Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films. The site is also said to have connections with numerous international piracy rackets, reports
Moneycontrol.
The piracy website Tamil Rockers had denied being on any social media platform.
