Such films in Telugu Cinema are many. Let us go through few films that were partly or completely got leaked even before its original release and still managed to become a hit.
- Shankar Dada MBBS (2004):
Mega Star Chiranjeevi’s much appreciated ‘Shankar Dada MBBS’ is directed by Jayanth C. Paranjee. This film is a remake of Bollywood super hit film Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. This film was leaked even before its release in theatres.

- Maghadeera (2009):
S.S.Rajamouli’s socio-fantasy film Magadheera is all praised for its story narration and visual effects. This film that broke all the records till then in Telugu Cinema was also a victim for leaks. The film in its initial stage saw few photographs and small video clips being leaked. The makers of the film thought that such leaked parts may affect the final output of the film. But, Magadheera stood quite opposite to what they thought and registered a huge hit.
- Attarintiki Daredi(2013):
Power star Pawan Kalyan’s much talked about film “Attarintiki Daredi” was leaked online before the official release.
