It took more than 50 crores to make the movie, but culprits of piracy are selling it out for Rs 50 in various places of Krishna district. A couple of hours back AP Police took a couple of mobile-phone shop owners into custody in Pedana and Jaggayyapeta of Krishna District who are said to be selling Attarintiki Daredi piracy CDs. Acting on a tip off from a popular TV channel, Krishna district police are working hard to drag out every culprit invovlved in spreading these CDs wild.
More than selling CDs, few cell-phone shops are actually copying the video of AD into pen drives directly and some people are forwarding the video on few mobile chat applications too. Though the news has come out today, reports say AD's piracy CDs are in market from last three days. Hand of a Bangalore based piracy network is suspected in replication of CDs and spreading them across the country.
In the 15,000 Crore worth Indian film industry, 30% of investment is at stake due to this piracy evil every year. But if movies are getting pirated even before the release, what is the point in making movies and building houses of entertainment in every town and city.
