Rajinikanth starrer film Kaala has been in the headlines from its very first looks. Fans of the South superstar always look forward to his films but he too could not prevent himself from the hacker network. The movie was facing controversy over its stay in Karnataka, following Rajinikanth's comment on the Cauvery issue. While now it has been decided Kaala will get a smooth release amidst security outside theatres, the film faced another hurdle of online piracy. Kaala was leaked online on Facebook, with the help of a live stream of the premiere. A Facebook user named Praveen leaked the film and its scenes from its premiere show in Singapore. Following the streaming, there were users searching for Kaala free downloads. But the quick action of the police has helped in nabbing the offender. Kaala: 5 Reasons Why We Are Excited for the Rajinikanth Film.

Almost 40 minutes of the movie was already leaked on the social media site. Some other user raised a concern about the disgusting piracy that surrounds the cinema industry. The movie is yet to release in other Asian countries like India as there is a timezone difference. It is scheduled for a release on June 7. Supreme Court refused to stay the release of the film in the state of Karnataka. Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya tweeted about the quick action taken in Singapore and expressed the need to kill piracy.

After the fiasco, it was also observed that people were urging others to contact them in need of the leaked film and free download from TamilRockers. It is truly a shame that people are resorting to illegal means to watch the film of their favourite actor. Compared to other Rajinikanth's films, this one was not so promoted and hyped but given the superstar's charisma, it will sure get in the fanatics. Rajnikanth's popularity is well-known and a true fan would always visit a theatre to catch all the action.
