Eid 2025 was supposed to be all about Salman Khan delivering a massy entertainer, full of action, swag, and blockbuster vibes. But, the internet had other plans! While Sikandar was busy setting the box office on fire, piracy pulled the rug from under its feet. And in this digital era, keeping a film leak-proof is proving to be tougher than Salman’s on-screen enemies!
Piracy Strikes Again – This Time, It’s Salman Khan starrer Sikandar!
Sikandar, starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, was all set for an explosive Eid release. But before fans could rush to the theatres, HD copies of the film started flooding the internet! Telegram? Check. WhatsApp? Check. Dark Web? Double Check! More than 10,000 links popped up, giving free access to the much-anticipated blockbuster.
If you think this is new, think again. Salman’s Radhe also suffered a similar fate, and history just repeated itself – this time, on a grander scale.
Who Suffers the Most? (Hint: It’s Not Just Salman!)
When a film leaks online, it’s not just the superstar who takes a hit. A massive Bollywood production involves hundreds of behind-the-scenes warriors – directors, editors, VFX artists, spot boys, and so many others who put in blood, sweat, and sleepless nights to make the magic happen.
From the 250-300 crew members who built the film from scratch to the investors who poured in big bucks – piracy rips off the entire industry. It’s not just a leak; it’s daylight robbery!
Film Fraternity Calls for a Crackdown!
Bollywood bigwigs aren’t staying silent. The Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) has slammed this illegal act, calling for stricter anti-piracy laws. If Bollywood is to survive, the system needs to tighten its grip on these digital pirates who are hijacking the industry’s hard-earned profits.
The makers have also urged audiences to support cinema the right way – by watching it in theaters or on official platforms. After all, if piracy keeps rising, will big-budget Bollywood spectacles even have a future?
Backed by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar is every bit the blockbuster fans hoped for. And while piracy tried to steal its thunder, Bhai’s fandom is proving yet again that real cinema lovers will always choose the big screen experience over a shady online link!
Piracy isn’t just a Salman Khan problem; it’s a Bollywood-wide crisis that needs a solution ASAP. The industry is fighting back, but the real battle is in the hands of fans.
