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

But not everyone is as scrupulous. However, overall, this latest move by the pirates will nevertheless have a deleterious effect on the industry, which will increasingly be scared by the prospect of their money being siphoned off by criminals.
