The makers of Bollywood movie, ‘Uri’, are reportedly trolling pirates by uploading large torrent files that claim to be pirated versions of the film, but actually, contain a hilarious video asking fans to watch the movie in theaters rather than downloading it illegally.
The internet is understandably divided on the novel anti-piracy strategy. While some are praising the rights-holders for addressing the serious issue of piracy in a lighthearted manner, others are complaining about the ‘gimmick’, saying that it’s just a way for the studio to promote the movie at the expense of movie fans in the country.
You can watch the video on Facebook, where it was uploaded to by one Arin Mandal, who downloaded the 3.8GB file and got this in return.
