Everyone wants to watch Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s Attarintiki Daredi. Certain CD rental shops took advantage of this craze and began circulating the available 90 minutes content of the movie. Police officials got scent of such shops on Monday and promptly raided them, seizing many pirated CDs and DVDs.

One police official was quoted by IANS as saying that they have raided several CD and mobile servicing shops and seized pirated discs on sale for Rs 50 each. “We have taken them into custody and we are conducting raids throughout the state,” the official said. The cop added that the first copy of the film was sold in a town named Pedana near Krishna district in Andhra Pradesh and was circulated to the neighboring districts.

Once news of the leak became known, Attarintiki Daredi producer BVSN Prasad filed a complaint with the police. An official spokesperson for AD confirmed that the director pressed for immediate action against all involved pirates. “A special team has been assigned to raid the CD shops,” the person said.

Since 9th August, which was the initial release date, Attarintiki Daredi was postponed to 9th October and later preponed to 27th September. Directed by Trivikram, the film primarily features Samantha, Pranitha, Boman Irani and Nadhiya. Stay tuned for Pawan Kalyan’s Attarintiki Daredi movie review this Friday.
