They Demanded 15 Lakhs: Rajamouli
X
Piracy is one of the major issues faced by our filmmakers. No film can escape piracy.. and even the recent 'Baahubali: The Conclusion' couldn't escape the clutches of piracy gang. A Delhi based pirate gang has downloaded 'Baahubali 2' directly from the server. A theater owner in the Begusarai district, Bihar has helped the pirate gang to download the film.

The gang has threatened the filmmakers to release th​​e movie online if they don't pay around 15 lakhs in ten days. The producers have approached cyber crime department immediately. The police swung in to swift action and they have caught the pirate gang and put them in Hyderabad Jail. As soon as 'Baahubali 2' makers got know to know the culprits are booked, director Rajamouli & producer Shobu Yarlagadda personally met DCP Avinash Mahanthi and ACP Raghuveer and thanked them.

Rajamouli interacted with the media after the meet. He said that the pirate gang has demanded them 15 lakhs money from them.​ He added that ​whenever the pirates are stopped from pirating they come up with new technology. So, there should be continuous observance on piracy as it will eat up the business of film industry. He specially thanked police department for extending them full support in containing piracy.
