Joji Leaked Online: Amazon Prime Video’s new film Joji which is a Malayalam entertainer has already fallen victim to piracy. Directed by Dileesh Pothan and written by Syam Pushkaran, the film stars Fahadh Faasil in the titular character. The film is based on William Shakespeare’s Macbeth where the filmmakers have brought in their own contemporary touch to it. Joji is essentially a story of greed and power set in the COVID times. It is also the first Malayalam film that has been set in the pandemic era.
While there’s a good buzz around the film, the makers seem to be in for a disappointment as the film has become the latest target of piracy sites such as Tamilrockers, Telegram, and movierulz among others. Joji was leaked online on day 1 of its release in India in full HD quality. The leak is an issue of concern for the makers as it may affect the Box Office collection.
This is not the first time, the piracy website leaked a film or a show. Earlier, films and shows such as Rang De, Godzilla vs. Kong, Mumbai Saaga, Jathi Ratnalu, Sreekaram, The Priest, Roohi, Bombay Begums, Lahore Confidential, Pudhu Kaalai, Sufiyum Sujatayum, AK vs AK, Laxmii, Ashram 2, Ludo, Chhalaang, Dark, Rasbhari, Bulbbul, Paatal Lok, Aarya, Penguin, Gulabo Sitabo, Chintu Ka Birthday, Choked, Ratkanchal, Ghoomketu, Betaal, Illegal, Family Man, The Raikar Case, Hundred, Extraction, Hasmukh, Money Heist, The Lion King, Frozen 2 among others became the target of the piracy sites. Several strict actions against the site have been taken in the past but it has been found that the team behind the site appears with a new domain every time the existing Tamilrockers site is blocked. If they are banned, they take a new domain and runs the pirated versions of the movies. In the case of the big theatre releases, Tamilrockers is known to leak the films just a few hours after the films have hit the screens.
