The biggest movie of the decade, 2.0, directed by Shankar has finally hit the theatres today. The sci-fi film, which is made on a huge budget of over Rs 550 crore has Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson playing the lead roles.
Much to the shock of fans, TamilRockers, an active piracy website, has leaked the entire movie in HD print, within few hours of its release. It is said that the makers had deployed a separate team to monitor online piracy.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that producers of 2.0 had approached the Madras High Court with a list of websites which had illegally uploaded the pirated version of the film.
There has been no official confirmation on the same.
Earlier, the anti-piracy team headed by actor Vishal had submitted a list of websites that leaks newly released films on their websites to the state government. The government had blocked most of these websites. However, they couldn't bring down TamilRockers.
Recently, TamilRockers had leaked Dhanush's Vada Chennai and Vijay's Sarkar as well.
2.0, which took a thunderous opening at the box office worldwide, seems to be receiving mixed reviews from the critics. The film talks about the harmful effects of radiation emanating from cell phone towers.
