Showing confidence, Arora from KriArj Entertainment reassured the industry, audience and public in general in an official statement that reads, "There have been reports of my film TOILET : EK PREM KATHA having leaked online. I would like to assure my well-wishers and colleagues not to worry as everything's under control. Someone tried to create mischief, but thanks to the Crime Branch, it's all under control."
The new age face of on screen patriotisms also tweeted, "The fight against piracy is critical and it's reassuring to see the swift action taken by the Crime Branch on the unfortunate incident involving our film TOILET : EK PREM KATHA."
While a lot of fans came in full support, celebs like Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Parineeti Chopra and Neil Nitin Mukesh also voiced out their opinions.
The Mubarakaan actor posted, "This fight we all must fight along with every fan of @akshaykumar...A film is made for the big screen not to be pirated for homes or mobiles"
Parineeti, who is all set to be sharing the big screen with Arjun and Akshay in 'Namastey Canada' also re-tweeted the 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha' star's post.
Mukesh tweeted, "There is no doubt that this fight is not yours alone. We are all with you sir @akshaykumar..."
