Taxiwaala has been directed by Rahul Sankrityan and marks the silver screen debut of Priyanka Jawalkar. It also stars Malavika Nair, Ravi Prakash and Uttej. Its trailer, which released days before, showed Vijay Deverakonda, who plays a cab driver, being haunted by a car possessed by a ghost.
This isn’t the first time a new film has been picked by notorious piracy site Tamilrockers. Vijay’s Sarkar, Dhanush’s Vada Chennai, Rajinikanth’s Kaala and Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam 2 were leaked by Tamilrockers. Other big-ticket films like Kayamkulam Kochunni, Sandakozhi 2, Aravindha Sametha, U Turn, Thugs of Hindostan, Badhaai Ho, Venom and First Man can also be found on the website.
