Salman Khan's Sultan leaked online just a day before its release

Apparently, links to the two hour 36 minute-long movie were available, but it was removed immediately after uploads.

Mumbai

: After Anurag Kashyap's 'Udta Punjab' was leaked last month, the movie piracy syndicate has targeted the highly anticipated film of the year, 'Sultan' directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.

The movie starring Anushka Sharma and Salman Khan found its way online just a day before its release in over 4,500 screens across India. However, the film was leaked on the darknet and is not yet available on torrent.

According to a report in Daily Mail, Deep Shankar (a cyber crime expert) said, “The leak is confirmed. The copy of the movie is available on the darknet and soon it will be available on torrent."

This move comes in three days after a Censor Board copy of Indra Kumar’s multi-starrer 'Great Grand Masti' was leaked online.

Another cyber investigator, Nitish Chandan, claimed that links to the two hour 36 minute-long movie are available, but it was removed immediately after uploads. He said, “Great Grand Masti has been definitely leaked, but no active links of Sultan’s censor copy can be found online. However sources are saying that there has been a leak and that the movie was available for sometime but was pulled down immediately.”

However, Yash Raj Films have denied any information about a leak.
