After Emraan Hashmi's upcoming horror flick 'Raaz Reboot' became the latest victim of piracy, the actor made an appeal to his fan to see the movie only in theaters.
The 37-year-old actor while requesting the people to refrain from watching the leaked version and giving the movie a "fair chance" tweeted,
"About twenty minutes ago, I decided to unwind a bit and go to twitter. I usually look at t as a way to connecting with my fans, who I look at as an extension of my family.It's always a positive experience connecting with them. But the first thing I saw a few moments back was the trends list which to my hobnor leaked "Raaz Reboot leaked". A lot of work goes into a film, whether good or bad. A lot of people toil away, striving to entertain you as well as run their kitchens."
"Piracy is a rampant problem, as we have seen over the past few months with a few movies that have been leaked online before their theoretical release. I won't add fuel to the fire by harping about conspiracy theories.I won't point fingers. I don't intend to get into public mud-slinging match. Instead I will request you to give the film a fair chance by watching it in theaters. It's a request, which I think everyone sensible will entertain," added the 'Gangster' star.
Along with this message, Emraan also tweeted, "#RaazReboot is to be watched in the theatres. Stay away from piracy please!"
Director Vikram Bhatt also took to Twitter and appealed, "Please please don't give in to piracy. Watch #RaazReboot only in the theatres" as a damage control measure."
The movie also starring Kriti Kharbanda opposite Emraan will hit the theatres on September 16.
