In a recent development, the highly anticipated movie "Surongo" has found itself entangled in piracy controversies, leading to a wave of uproar among the film's director and cast. "Surongo," which was meant to be a treat for audiences, became a victim of piracy. The film's director, Raihan Rafi, expressed his vehement dissatisfaction, accusing certain individuals of orchestrating the piracy as a planned attempt to harm the movie's success.
Raihan Rafi stated, "Initially, a crucial climax scene was leaked, and then it was deliberately shared on social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube, causing it to go viral. Subsequently, the entire movie was leaked, not just in Bangladesh but also in neighboring India, where it was illegally attributed to their version of the film."
The lead actress of "Surongo," Tama Mirza, took to her Facebook to vehemently protest against the piracy claims. She denied any involvement in the leaked content and expressed her frustration at the situation.
Tama stated, "I am deeply saddened to see 'Surongo' being marred by piracy. It is disheartening to witness the efforts of countless individuals who worked tirelessly to create this film being tarnished."
In response to the piracy incident, director Raihan Rafi has initiated legal actions against those responsible for the unlawful distribution of the film. He emphasized that piracy is a criminal offense, and those found guilty will face the consequences of their actions.
"We are determined to bring the perpetrators to justice, and anyone who has shared or uploaded the pirated videos on various platforms will be held accountable," stated Raihan Rafi.
As the situation continues to unfold, both the local and international versions of "Surongo" have garnered praise and success. Despite facing challenges due to the leaked content, the movie has received accolades and appreciation from audiences worldwide.
However, it is essential to remember that piracy remains a serious offense, not just for filmmakers and actors but also for genuine cinema lovers who respect and cherish the art form. The film industry relies on the support and admiration of its audiences, and piracy threatens the very essence of creative expression.
Raihan Rafi and the entire team behind "Surongo" are determined to combat piracy and uphold the integrity of the film industry. They seek the cooperation of the public and urge everyone to refrain from engaging in or promoting piracy. Let us all join hands to protect the hard work and dedication of filmmakers and celebrate cinema responsibly.
