Raj Kumar, head of the anti-piracy wing said. With age of android enabled smartphones, people are watching movies on their cellphone just after a day of release with decent quality.

As per the stats, 67 percent of the websites that offer pirated version of Telugu flicks operate overseas. And this does not allow the film industry to take action even as they face major revenue losses due to this.
