Telugu Film Industry Targeted by Piracy Site Operator Naveen
A new mystery man named Naveen is suspected of running two big piracy websites, 5movierulz and 1tamilmv.
These sites have been leaking popular Telugu movies like 'The Raja Saab' starring Prabhas, even before their official digital release.
The police are trying to catch Naveen, who is believed to be operating from Sri Lanka.
The websites keep changing their domain names to avoid being shut down.
In just the first 10 days of January, 5movierulz had 18 lakh visitors, and 1tamilmv.lc had 23 lakh visitors, mostly from India.
The police are confident they will catch Naveen, just like they did with other piracy operators.
The Raja Saab, a Telugu film starring Prabhas, has been leaked online on piracy websites 5movierulz and 1tamilmv.
Naveen, a suspected Tamilian operating from Sri Lanka, is believed to be behind these piracy websites.
The leaked versions are mostly low-quality camcorder prints recorded in cinema halls in north and east India.
The piracy websites keep changing their domain names to avoid being shut down, making it difficult to track their exact traffic.
In just the first 10 days of January, 5movierulz received 18 lakh visitors, and 1tamilmv.lc received 23 lakh visitors, mostly from India.
