Directed by James Cameron, the visual extravaganza Avatar: The Way of Water has been released worldwide on December 16. A direct sequel to Avatar, which was released in 2009, the epic science fiction film has been receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and audiences.
The film is set to create a storm at the Indian box office as it has earned over Rs 20 crore in advance bookings for the first day itself and could even rake in close to Rs 50 crore on its opening day. However, there is one bad news for the cinephiles as Avatar 2 has been leaked online.
As per a report in BollywoodLife.com, Avatar: The Way of Water has become the latest victim of piracy as the film is available to download from infamous sites such as Tamilrockers, Telegram, Movierulz, Filmyzilla, Filmywap, 123movies, 123movierulz, and other torrent websites.
Avatar: The Way of Water is not the first film to have been leaked on such infamous sites. Recently, Ajay Devgn's Drishyam 2, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt starrer Brahmastra Part One Shiva, Ram Charan-Jr NTR's RRR, Yash' KGF Chapter 2, Thalapathy Vijay's Beast, Prabhas' Radhe Shyam, and Ajith Kumar's Valimai were also leaked on their first day of release.
