It’s been only a few hours since the first show of Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor's Saaho started rolling out in theatres. And the film has already fallen prey to piracy, reports India Today.
The much-anticipated action thriller, which has been talk of the town for the longest time, has been leaked online by notorious piracy website TamilRockers.
Within a few hours of its release, Sujeeth's directorial venture Saaho is now available for free download.
The news has come just a few hours after Saaho's leading actress Shraddha Kapoor urged fans to say no to piracy.
Shraddha, who is romancing Prabhas in Saaho, took to social media to warn fans against piracy and giving out spoilers.
She wrote, "#SAAHOinCinemas now! Watch it at your nearest theaters and experience the action! SAY NO TO SPOILERS and report piracy claims to claims@antipiracysolutions.org #SAAHO #WORLDSAAHODAY"
She also shared a statement by UV Creations, "World Saaho Day is finally here. Sweat, blood and a mammoth amount of dedication went to making our biggest project by far...All of this didn't happen in the blink of an eye...We have overcome a lot of obstacles with your love and motivation. And now, we are up and about to presenting our 'ALL OF IT' to you. Saaho is yours now, die-hard fans! Don't spread spoilers. Watch Saaho in cinemas near you. Say no to piracy."

Saaho isn't the first film to fall prey to piracy. Earlier this year, films like Batla House, Judgementall Hai Kya, Student Of The Year 2, etc. were also leaked on the website.
Released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, Saaho stars Jackie Shroff, Chunky Panday, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mahesh Manjrekar and Mandira Bedi in key roles apart from Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor.
With the film leaked online within hours, it remains to be seen if it hampers the box-office numbers of Saaho or not.
