Actress Swara Bhaskar's Anaarkali of Aarah has
grabbed eyeballs because of its content and bold scenes. It has been in news
ever since the trailer has hit the web. The movie hit the headlines for a few
bold scenes which got leaked and went viral. CBFC asked the filmmakers to chop
off those scenes, but those cuts from the movie went viral.
Post this facade of leaked scenes on the web, producer
Sandiip Kapur has obtained an anti-piracy John Doe order from Madras High Court
to prevent the film being available on the torrent sites and not affecting the
business of the movie further.
He clarified it to a famous daily, “It means an action
against over 1800 torrent and other websites covering more than 95 percent of
the piracy spectrum. For an independent producer like me, every penny matters.
For a Friday release, the pirated version is available online within
a few hours. With this order, 1750 sites and 40 ISPs (internet service
providers) will be restrained from downloading the film.”
He also further added, "Even if the scenes are deleted
from the movie, none should get exclusive footage of our film. Web sites, which
aren't covered by our order, have also been taken into account. Taking a cue
from Dangal and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, both of which leaked on Facebook and
YouTube on the day of release, adequate measures will be taken to ensure that
doesn't happen to us, a team of software engineers has been deputed to ensure
the sites are blocked immediately.”
Film Anaarkali of Aarah revolves around an erotic singer
(Swara) from Arrah in Bihar, who sings double meaning songs. One day things
take an ugly turn when Anaarkali has a confrontation with a very powerful man
who molested her and instead of bowing down she chooses to fight back against
the misogynistic beliefs of her society.
The movie also gathered attention when it faced trouble with
the people of Veer Kunwar Singh University situated in Bihar as the trailer has
an item number which they think is maligning the image of freedom fighter
Kunwar Singh.
