Just a couple of days after Bunny Vas and Allu Aravind’s press meeting, at which they strongly condemned piracy and the illegal screening of a pirated Thandel version on an APSRTC bus, one other incident got here to light. A pirated version of Thandel was played on one other APSRTC bus. Producer Bunny Vas, who had earlier raised complaints about similar issues, once more called for strict motion against those responsible.
On social media, Bunny Vas shared the bus details (Vehicle No: AP 39 WB 5566) and expressed his disappointment. He urged APSRTC Chairman Konakalla Narayana Rao to issue a strict circular prohibiting pirated movies on public transport.
He tweeted, “Once more, a pirated version of our #Thandel was played on an @apsrtc bus. Piracy harms the film industry and disrespects the whole team’s labor. We request APSRTC to take serious motion and stop such incidents in the longer term.”
This will not be the primary time Thandel has faced piracy issues. Soon after its release, a high-definition copy was leaked online, and an area cable channel illegally broadcasted the whole film. The film’s team had vowed to take strict motion against those responsible.
One other APSRTC bus (Service No: 3066) was caught screening a pirated movie copy earlier. Following that incident, the APSRTC Chairman ordered an inquiry. Nonetheless, one other case has reported that concerns about piracy prevention remain.
The Telugu film industry is urging authorities to take stricter measures against piracy. APSRTC is predicted to tighten regulations to forestall pirated content from being played on its buses.
