This unauthorized release has caused financial harm, highlighting the need for stricter enforcement to protect the film industry's intellectual property rights.

The unauthorized online release of the Hindi film 'Sikandar', starring Salman Khan, has sparked calls for stronger anti-piracy measures. The Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) emphasized the urgent need for stricter enforcement of anti-piracy laws amid ongoing challenges faced by the film industry.

'Sikandar' was leaked before its official March 30 release, causing significant financial harm to its producers and the broader film sector. The leak is a reminder of the threats piracy poses to the industry, potentially undermining livelihoods and creative efforts.

IMPPA condemned the unauthorized streaming and distribution facilitated by platforms like X and Telegram, urging authorities to take strict actions.
