Cyber Crime Wing Steps In After Complaint

In a statement shared via social media, Vijay’s team revealed that a formal complaint has been filed with the Cyber Crime Wing. According to their tweet, police have already detained more than five individuals linked to the circulation of leaked links.

The post further confirmed that the investigation is actively ongoing, with authorities tracking the spread of pirated content across multiple platforms.

WarX Launches Deep Probe Into Leak Source

Following the HD leak, anti-piracy firm WarX has intensified efforts to trace the original source of the breach. CEO Raamesh S. stated that the team is closely monitoring torrent activity and preserving data trails to identify individuals responsible for distributing the film illegally.

He added that digital footprints are being collected systematically, with legal action being prepared against those involved in sharing or hosting the content.

From Censorship Battle To Legal Scrutiny

The controversy around the film has not been limited to piracy alone. Earlier, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had reportedly asked for 27 cuts, citing concerns over religious sensitivities and potential misrepresentation of the armed forces. The filmmakers agreed to the changes and moved ahead with promotional plans.

However, legal complications followed. On 5 January 2026, the producers approached the Madras High Court seeking certification approval due to scheduling pressures and significant financial investment.

By 9 January, the court directed the CBFC to issue a U/A 16+ certificate, offering temporary relief. Yet, the order was later put on hold after the CBFC appealed, arguing procedural validity in referring the film to a revising committee.

The matter escalated further when the Supreme Court declined to intervene, directing the producers back to the High Court.
