K.E Gnanavel Raja who graced the event of Vijay Antony’s Yaman audio launch had congratulated him for his growth as an actor and also wished him luck for Yaman. He then got furious as he started talking about piracy and Tamil Rockers, the main reason for online streaming of latest movies. Here is what he had to say:
“Suriya’s Si 3 is releasing on February 9th. This guy called Tamil Rockers is announcing that he will live stream it by 11 o clock. Apart from clearing the finance, we have to deal with this piracy issue also. Today I announce this to Tamil Rockers, you live stream my movie and it is everyone’s hardwork for the past 2 years. But within the next 6 months I will catch you and put you in jail and this event will be live streamed.
Elections are coming and we know exactly what to do. People must also be against this piracy and stop streaming our products. Audience enjoyment is our priority and that is what we are working for. Please watch films only in theatres.
I assure to catch you Tamil Rockers and put you behind the bars. Take this as an open challenge Tamil Rockers! Cinema industry has a lot of loopholes and this has to be looked into. Behind every movie, there is extreme hardwork to give happiness to the watchers. All departments work day and night, so please do watch it only in theatres.”
