Kabali movie leaked online: After Udta Punjab, Great Grand Masti, Sultan, it is the turn of Rajinikanth’s Kabali movie to be leaked online. According to reports, Kabali leaked online on the Dark Web and the links are available to those who wish to enter this domain.

Rajinikanth starrer Kabali release date is Friday, July 22nd – the film also has Radhika Apte in the cast as the hero’s love interest.

Surprisingly, this has happened despite Kabali makers getting an injunction from courts that the film is not to be carried online. It was applicable to a number of websites whose names were provided by the Kabali team to authorities.

That the piracy happened despite that, points to a far deeper problem than was initially estimated by authorities and the concerned industry.

At the moment, efforts are being made to convince fans and other theatre-goers to resist the temptation to get cheap kicks by downloading the movie as it hurts the industry and is against the interests of the iconic actor himself. Rajinikanth has already suffered a back to back setback as his two previous movies had virtually flopped at the box office.

Kabali makers have also rushed to the authorities with a request to take down the movie to prevent it being downloaded or streamed.

However, attempts to locate the guilty parties have been stymied by the fact that chasing leads in the Dark Web is difficult, if not impossible.

Censor Board chief Pahlaj Nihalani who is increasingly having to answer queries about films leaking before release was quick to wash his hands off the matter by saying that , Kabali went through the Chennai centre and that, “It had nothing to do with our office in Mumbai.”

Whether this will negatively impact Kabali advance booking is uncertain as Rajinikanth fans are a disciplined lot and are unlikely to illegally download the movie.


With just 3 days to go, this latest move by the pirates will nevertheless have a deleterious effect on the industry.

And, exactly what Rajinikanth has to say about it is still unclear, but with Kabali movie having acquired so much significance for him and Rs 100 crore having been spent on its budget, surely he must be furious as all his attempts to stop the piracy have not borne fruit.
