The highly anticipated film 'Game Changer', starring Ram Charan and directed by Shankar, has been making waves at the box office since its release on January 10. However, the film's success has been marred by a piracy case, with a group of 45 people leaking a pirated version of the film online. The film team immediately filed a complaint with the Cyber Crime Police, leading to a swift investigation and action against the perpetrators.
In a shocking turn of events, a local TV channel in Andhra Pradesh, AP Local TV, was found to be illegally broadcasting a pirated version of the film. A joint raid was conducted by the Gajuwaka Police and Crime Clues Team under Visakhapatnam Commissionerate, along with M/S Copyright Safety Systems, on the AP Local TV office. The authorities seized all the equipment in the office, and an FIR was registered against the TV channel staff, leading to their arrest.
The investigation revealed that there was a planned negative campaign against Game Changer on social media platforms, with leaked clips and the entire movie being shared online and on TV. The Crime Clues Team and the police stated that these actions fall under the Copyright Act, and the people responsible for this were identified and arrested. The film team has appreciated the swift action taken by the authorities and has urged fans to report any instances of piracy.
The piracy case against Game Changer highlights the ongoing struggle against film piracy in India. The film industry suffers significant losses every year due to piracy, and it's essential for authorities to take strict action against perpetrators. With the arrest of the AP Local TV crew, the authorities have sent a strong message against film piracy, and fans are urged to support the film industry by watching movies only in theaters or through official streaming platforms.
