It has been over a month since Vicky Kaushal’s period drama Chhaava hit the big screens. While the film continues to break records at the box office, pirated websites have already leaked it online. Maddock Films, which has backed the movie appointed an anti-piracy agency that flagged over 1800 links circulating the film illegally.
