Please treat this as a strict warning, any such content will be reported, and necessary action will be taken against those involved.”
The makers further stated that the leaks were undermining the cinematic experience they were working hard to create. “These leaks compromise the experience we are carefully building. What’s coming on the big screen will be far bigger and worth the wait. We urge everyone to refrain from sharing or engaging with leaked content.
