Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava electrified the box office with its sparkling collections but what if we tell you that these collections could have been higher if the film was not leaked online hours after its release?
That is the case what happened with Chhaava as the film got leaked online and was spread all around social media through several links and streaming services.

Salman Khan’s Sikandar was leaked online hours before its release hence speculating the leak to be an insider attack.

While the case for Chhaava is solved, it remains to be seen when the case of Sikandar will be solved by the cyber police and how will they prevent piracy ahead.
