Jana Nayagan leak row: Madras High Court bans illegal streaming, cable broadcast
The Madras High Court has issued a temporary ban on unlawful streaming of Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. This move aims to safeguard the big-budget project from further financial losses caused by illegal online distribution.
The Madras High Court has issued a temporary order to prevent internet service providers and cable operators from unlawfully streaming Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. This ruling aims to curb the spread of an unauthorised and uncertified version of the movie on social media, online platforms, and cable television.
The court’s order bars the circulation of any unlawful or uncertified copies of the film across social media platforms, online websites and cable networks, offering temporary relief to the makers of the big-budget project.
Jana Nayagan, which is anticipated to be actor Thalapathy Vijay's last film before possibly entering politics, was leaked online prior to receiving approval from the Central Board of Film Certification. On April 9, high-definition segments, including a pivotal entry scene and the climax, surfaced on encrypted messaging apps and piracy websites.
Within hours, the entire film reportedly surfaced across multiple illegal platforms, dealing a significant blow to the project, which is mounted on a massive budget of around Rs 500 crore.
The complete film soon became accessible on these platforms, resulting in considerable financial losses for the Rs 500 crore project.
Authorities have since cracked down on the leak, arresting six individuals allegedly linked to the piracy network and taking down nearly 300 illegal links. Despite these measures, the financial impact on the film remains substantial.
The court’s interim order is seen as a crucial step in curbing further unauthorised distribution, especially at a time when piracy continues to pose a serious threat to big-ticket theatrical releases.
