Leaked print of Sikandar contains raw BGM, Kajal Aggarwal’s suicide attempt scene, extended interval block; Salman Khan’s ‘Ajeeb Dastaan’ shot is missing; anonymous Twitter handle had warned of leak 4 days before release

The industry was hit hard when it was revealed that HD prints from Sikandar had been leaked on the morning of March 30th. It was the same day the film was released. Plus, it wasn't the final cut for Salman Khan Star. Bollywood Hungama spoke to several sources in the industry to understand how this must have happened and what the Pirated Copies version of the content is. 

Pirated print vs. theater version 

Bollywood Hungama spoke to an industrial insider who happened to watch a copy of a film. He said: "There are several scenes in this film that are not part of the final film. The background rating is raw. After Sahumika Mandana's death), Sikandar meets her legal friend. This is when she learns what she wants to be a lawyer. Similarly, Kamaldin reviews fall to the ground due to lung disease. 

The industry continued: "Before Sikandar receives a call from the Pradhan Minister (Satyaraj) during interval points, the former male is informed that Kamaldin is not good. The recipient of the organ. 

The insider also added that this is not everything. There is a scene of Weidech trying to commit suicide. There is also a scene in Shikandar and Nisha's cars. The taxi driver is also shown to inform Sikandar that he has given passengers to Badham. The same passenger will later give a big order. 

The commercial source commented: In predatory pressure, it is not Iuria Vantour who sings "it was Gale." The original Waun Thi (1964)-Elg was retained. Furthermore, these additional scenes in the robber version are people who were voluntarily removed by the manufacturer after receiving the censorship certificate. Sikandar does not have a pirated copy to sing Ajeeb Dastaan. This film was added to the film when the terminology spontaneously diminished. This means that leaks were insider jobs and probably happened after the film was adopted by the CBFC. 

Who leaked the movie? 

Social media is full of theory. The red chili peppers that we worked on VFX are the source of the leak. Some speculate that Lawrence Bishnoy will be responsible. Salespeople who were conditioned on anonymity told me they needed to understand that film files were encrypted. It can only be opened in KDM. KDM is not a password. It's much more complicated. No one can access it without permission, even from the film team. There is a theory that it could have been triggered from overseas, but even in this case, the encrypted file will be sent. It is very rare that a national censorship committee can ask for a Vimeo file instead of an encrypted version if the screening room is not available. But it happened in Sikandar. Only creators will know this. 

The Post-Production Supervisor revealed that encrypted files are only sent when the film is converted to 4DX. However, Sikandar didn't even have 4DX or MX4D publications. 

The final words 

The experienced producer sighed: Has anyone known someone who leaked Uttapanjab or Urgland Masti? So I suspect that the perpetrator who leaked Sikandar has been caught. This time it was shocking to read that an anonymous Twitter handle sent a warning and threatened to release the film's pressure. This happened four days before the publication. This is unprecedented and also indicates that these troublemakers need to be brought into the task. At the same time, all future film makers need to ensure that pirates don't get the opportunity to put the pressure they've leaked to the internet.
