Piracy has raised its dirty head in the worst possible way this times. Leaked CDs and online content of Attarintiki Daredi was found to have been around for the past 3 days, originating from a traitor among the film's many technicians.

It is heard that the leaked content is of high quality and is being spread through phone applications and copied CDs, replicated by a suspected Banagalore-based piracy firm. Acting on a tip off, Police from Krishna district nabbed a couple of mobile shop owners, with promise of more arrests in the next few hours.

Meanwhile, all online content containing the film is being deleted promptly. Makers are also making hurried preparations to release the movie this week. This day has been marked at the blackest day in Telugu Cinema, as piracy struck before the actual release, leading to massive damage control strategies by film makers.

Fans of not only Pawan Kalyan, but also fans of other heroes have been avidly requested to co-operate with the search for the culprits, who when found, will experience the consequences of their selfish actions. It was revealed that the fan of a rival hero has been taking part in spreading the cheaply available CDs.

After the release of Attarintiki Daredi, Pawan Kalyan had plans to begin work on Gabbar Singh 2, having decided to own the title legally from Sholay makers. With this latest development, his anger will have no bounds until the criminals are nabbed.
