In a shocking turn of events, the HD version of Thandel has been leaked online and made available for download on a piracy website. This incident comes shortly after Ram Charan's Game Changer faced a similar fate last month.
Thandel, starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, was released today. However, the joy of the film's release was short-lived as news of the online leak spread like wildfire. The availability of the HD version has shocked Geetha Arts, which has made the film on a total budget of Rs 90 Cr.
The leak of Game Changer just weeks ago and Thandel now highlights the vulnerability of even the most high-profile projects. The effectiveness of anti-piracy measures in place comes into question after this. The Telugu film industry has to wake up to the threat. The Tamil film industry, though, hasn't been able to do much for many years.
Thandel is directed by Chandoo Mondeti. Bunny Vas has produced it. The film opened to mixed reviews, with many video reviews being negative.
