‘Mirai’ Leaked Online in HD

However, the excitement surrounding the release was marred by piracy. Just an hour after hitting theatres, pirated HD versions of Mirai including 1080p, 720p, and 300MB compressed copies surfaced on torrent sites and Telegram channels. Popular piracy platforms such as Tamilrockers, Movierulz, Pikashow, and 1337x were reportedly hosting the illegal downloads, raising serious concerns over the impact of piracy on box office collections and OTT content. This is not the first time a major release has been targeted. Despite government crackdowns and efforts to block piracy websites, they continue to resurface under new domains. The makers of Mirai have urged fans to support original content by watching the film legally in theatres rather than encouraging piracy.
