Tollywood (Telugu Cinema) is already facing big struggles with the OTT market downfall; the satellite market is also getting down. The Hindi dubbing market also has seen a downfall in recent years, and now, Tollywood is losing the war against piracy as well.
Apart from the above-mentioned issues, post-COVID-19, the audiences are not coming to the theaters for all films like before, and they are interested in watching or stepping out of home only for a few selected films.
At this time Telugu Cinema sees another big burden with piracy. The HD prints of the films came out on opening day itself for recent films. Thandel’s makers directly admitted that they were unable to take any stand against piracy, and Di Raju recently addressed this issue and said that all producers need to come out to take an initiative.
Now HD versions of both Robinhood and Mad Square, the latest releases, are out on the net, and netizens are spreading/sharing those links. The producers need to do something with this, as they are already struggling to get the invested amounts, as all businesses are going down.
If piracy increases continually, it will add more burden to them. The Telugu producers need to take a strong stand as Tollywood is losing the war against piracy.
They can even take the help from the government to set up an anti-piracy team and fight against it. The problem with the movie producers is they are addressing this issue only at their movie release time and not bothering about other movies, which is the main concern in this entire issue.
