A day before Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham’s A Pathan released in theaters, the Siddharth Anand’s directorial has been illegally leaked online despite an anti-piracy plea by the actors and the film’s producers Yash Raj Film. Reportedly, the film has already appeared on several websites like TamilRockers, Filmyzilla, Filmy4wap and others.
Pathaan’s production house Yash Raj Films had made an anti-piracy plea on social media earlier this week. The film’s actors and other actors like Katrina Kaif from YRF’s spy universe too had urged fans to watch the film on the big screen and avoid recording the film’s footage, or watch its pirated version. They also appealed to the audience to report piracy.
All set for the biggest action spectacle? A humble request to everyone to refrain from recording any videos, sharing them online and giving out any spoilers. Experience #Pathan only in cinemas!
