Makers Begin Legal Action
According to Mid-day, producer Namit Malhotra and director Nitesh Tiwari have already activated their anti-piracy partners to curb the circulation of the leaked footage.

While the Pratham Sankalp event was livestreamed for fans worldwide, the makers did not broadcast the trailer. Instead, the livestream was paused whenever it was screened for attendees in an apparent attempt to prevent leaks.
