The last movie made by a famous singer from Assam, India, named Zubeen Garg, is being copied and shared online without permission, which is called piracy.
This is making the people who made the movie very sad and angry because Zubeen Garg himself was against piracy and wanted Assamese movies to be seen all over the world.
The director and producer are working hard to remove these illegal copies, but new ones keep popping up.
They have even identified some people and groups who are sharing the movie.
Film fans and cinema hall owners are asking the government and everyone to stop this piracy and to watch the movie in theaters as a way to honor Zubeen Garg.
