Ram Charan-starrer Game Changer has been the victim of piracy since the day of its release, with an HD version of the film being leaked online by anonymous individuals. A few days ago, another shocking update arrived when a local TV channel named AP Local TV was found broadcasting the pirated version on their channel in Andhra Pradesh. On Thursday, a joint rade was conducted at the TV channel’s office, and concerned individuals were arrested by the team.

Gajuwaka Police and Crime Clues Team in collaboration with M/S Copyright Safety Systems, led by Managing Director Mr. H.V. Chalapathi Raju, under the Visakhapatnam Commissionerate, conducted the raid at the AP Local TV’s office, seizing all the equipment. 

Earlier, Game Changer team had filed a complaint with the Cybercrime team, after a few important visuals from the film were leaked a few days before the film’s release. The team also informed that many members of the crew were being blackmailed to pay money to ensure their movie isn’t leaked online. On Monday, 45 individuals were arrested under the charges of planning a negative campaign against the film on major social media platforms, including leaking the film online.
