Here is the ironic result of that ban: Because the film was not playing in theaters in South India for weeks, the demand skyrocketed. Pirates saw an opportunity. Within 24 hours of its global release in the US, a high-quality pirated copy appeared online. Telugu distributors were hit the hardest, as the delay in the release meant that by the time the film hit cinemas in Hyderabad and Vizag, half the target audience had already watched the "Movierulz print."

Kamal Haasan sold his properties and spent nearly 5 years of his life making Vishwaroopam . While the convenience of Movierulz is tempting, the Telugu film industry (Tollywood) and its dubbed subsidiaries need your support.

Skip Movierulz. Watch it legally. This article is part of an awareness campaign against digital piracy. If you find a link to "vishwaroopam telugu movierulz," report it to the cybercrime cell.
