whatsapp and social media. They threatened to release the pirate print if they did not receive the enormous sum they requested. The crew said that the HD print was made accessible online right after the film's premiere, and that important narrative points were published on

police Station. The filmmakers questioned whether this group was operating on its own initiative or in response to outside pressure. The filmmakers started looking into the allegations. Additionally, they accused a number of
social media accounts of purposefully spreading unfavorable opinions about the movie.

social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and X, purportedly disrupting the viewing experience for viewers. The group stated that they had lodged complaints against these accounts and hinted at the possibility of pursuing more legal action.
