Thugs Of Hindostan falls prey to online piracy within hours of release

Yash Raj Films’ ambitious movie Thugs Of Hindostan, headlined by Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh, has been leaked online within hours of hitting theatres worldwide on 8th November, 2018.

The mega-budgeted film has been leaked by the infamous piracy website TamilRockers. Not only the Hindi version but the Tamil and Telugu-dubbed versions of the movie have also been leaked on the internet.


Though the makers are yet to take any action against the website, a group of some film enthusiasts have written to the authorities, requesting them to take legal action against the website for flouting piracy laws, according to reports.

Made on an approximate budget of ₹ 300 crore, Thugs Of Hindostan is the costliest Bollywood film ever. It has raked in ₹ 52.25 crores on its opening day. But since the movie has received extremely poor reviews by critics, the chances of its growth in coming days seem slim. And now with the entire film getting leaked online, it is bound to incur heavy losses for the makers.

Thugs Of Hindostan is directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya.

Filmmaker steps away from YRF’s action franchise

Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has stepped away from Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) highly anticipated action project Dhoom 4, reportedly due to creative differences. According to Bollywood Hungama, Mukerji’s vision for the film did not align with the studio’s direction, prompting him to withdraw from the project.

Mukerji, who was in discussions to direct the next instalment of the hit franchise—expected to star Ranbir Kapoor—was said to have limited control over the script, which was reportedly written by Shridhar Raghavan. The director, best known for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra, was keen on shaping the film creatively rather than simply executing an existing plan.
