Sultan was leaked online hours before the official release of this Salman Khan, Anushka Sharma movie.
Sultan is the most keenly-awaited movie of the year and trade is pegging Rs 150 crore as just the opening weekend collection for the Salman Khan film. However, piracy syndicates appear to have rained on producer Yash Raj Film’s parade and Sultan was leaked online a few hours before its official release on Wednesday. Sultan has been released on 5100 screens worldwide.
The news about Sultan comes a few weeks after Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt movie Udta Punjab was leaked online. Reports also said that adult comedy Great Grand Masti has been leaked weeks before its release.
