Mirzya leaked online

While the producers and the film industry at large are reeling from the dismal opening figures of Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher starrer Mirzya', a huge shock comes with the film being leaked online.

The entire movie is available on Youtube and the video alone has fetched over 10 lakh views in less than 24 hours of upload. This has saddened director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who has now sought to lead an anti-piracy campaign in the interest of the industry.

"The complete film is available on youtube. This is very disturbing and discouraging. We have to somehow find ways to convince people to see Mirzya in theatres and not pirated on YouTube, as it is a big-screen experience. On Sunday alone there were more than a million hits on YouTube. Now, if we translate those hits into footfalls into theatres. My principal cast of Harshvardhan Kapoor, Saiyami Kher and Anuj Choudhuri along with me and other technicians will undertake a campaign to wean our audience away from viewing pirated versions of films. This is killing our film business. And if the movie business dies there will be nothing to see any longer.", Mehra quoted.
