The Raja Saab starring Prabhas was released worldwide just yesterday with high expectations from fans and trade circles. The film also had premiere shows in the USA and a few places in the Telugu states a day earlier. While fans were celebrating the release, a shocking incident related to piracy surfaced online and left many people angry and disappointed.

According to viral social media posts, a North Indian restaurant in the Ohio state of the USA allegedly played a pirated copy of The Raja Saab on its television screens. An Instagram user shared a video claiming that the restaurant streamed the movie openly just one day after its official release. The incident reportedly took place in Dublin city, and the clip quickly spread across social media platforms.

What shocked viewers the most was not just the act of piracy, but the fact that it happened in a public place like a restaurant. Playing a pirated movie is illegal, and doing so in a commercial establishment is considered a serious offense. Many online users questioned how the restaurant management managed to get access to the pirated print so soon after the release.

This incident comes at a time when the film industry believed it was making progress in its fight against piracy. Recently, authorities arrested Ravi in connection with illegal movie distribution through the iBomma website. Because of such strict actions, filmmakers felt that piracy was slowly coming under control. However, this latest development has raised fresh concerns.
