Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh starrer Baby John has been in a big trouble once again. The film which was released on Christmas this year, has become a victim of online piracy. Yes, as per Trade Analyst Manobala Vijayabalan, Baby John ultra HD with original 5.1 audio leaked online. Netizens on social media pointed out that every movie has been leaked online after 1st week including big movies like Pushpa 2. Here is what online users said about this situation:

A user said, “Every movie including Pushpa HD print gets leaked after 1st week.” Another user mentioned, “Disaster movie leak bhi hua tho bhi kya farak padta hai ??” A tweet read, “Serious issue has been happening Lot malyalm movies leakage happened.. Needs to do preventive measures Please no one share these A movie is hardwork lot of people... That's hardwork doesn't get wasted.” A comment read, “Oh already leaking started then who will go to theatre to watch.” Another tweet read, “No effect. Because movie's most shows will be removed from theatre on next week.” A tweet read, “May be Insider Access: Employees or contractors working in post production or Hacked servers.” 

Jagran English does not promote piracy. According to the 1957 Copyright Act, piracy is illegal. We ask that readers abstain from engaging in piracy.

This is not the first time, Baby John was earlier leaked on Telegram on the day of its release. At that time, a producer, who is also a Guild member told Mid-Day “For every ticket lost to piracy, jobs, livelihoods, and future investments are put at stake. I have lost approximately R20 crore because of piracy when a film that I had produced had been prematurely leaked. An expensive film like Baby John, which has been made on a budget of R130 crores, may [only collect] R40 crore, because the film is already out for people to download. We will be discussing this with the Guild members because we have big titles like Game Changer, Chhaava, Sikandar, and Sitaare Zameen Par (up for release this year).”

Coming back to Baby John, the movie earned Rs 36.40 crore after 9 days of release. The movie stars Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jackie Shroff, Sheeba Chaddha and Zara Zyanna in significant roles. Salman Khan made a special appearance in the movie.
