Salman Khan`s Sikandar has leaked online just hours after the film hit theatres. After a long wait, Sikandar was released in theatres today on the auspicious occasion of Gudi Padwa, just ahead of Eid. Just hours after the movie hit theatres, a pirated copy of the film was leaked online. Several notorious platforms like Tamilrockers, Movierulz, Filmyzilla, and Telegram groups have leaked the full movie online, offering illegal downloads and streaming links.

Despite strict anti-piracy laws being in place, illegal streaming platforms continue to be a huge problem for Bollywood. In Sikandar`s case, it seems like the leak was caused by camcorder recordings in theatres, which are later uploaded in HD quality within hours. With the Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna starrer leaking online just within hours of its release, it could hamper the box office collection of the film.
