The menace of piracy in the Tamil film industry is rampant. In spite of several initiatives from the government and the film fraternity, privacy remains a major challenge that has been adding to the woes of filmmakers. The makers of Thamizh Padam 2.0 on Saturday released the poster of the film while addressing the issue of piracy with sarcasm.

The poster names infamous torrent website, Tamil Rockers, as its “Offical Piracy Partner.” The filmmakers have also said the film will release on the piracy website the next day after it opens in theaters.

It is worth noting that, earlier this year, Tamil Rockers had challenged the filmmakers of Suriya’s Singam 3 that they will make the movie available on its website on the same day of its release.
