Actor Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero released in the movie theatres across the country on December 21 and has received mixed reviews. However, the film seems to have been dealing with a new controversy as fake Twitter accounts made in the names of celebrities have surfaced on Twitter. The fake account users started sharing reviews of the film even before its release.
Even Shah Rukh took note of the problem and tweeted as Bauaa from the latter’s account, “Ama yaar abhi tak picture humne kisi ko dikhayi nahi, ye review kahan se aa gaye? Itta bhi mat pheko ki lapeta hi na jaaye. (We haven’t shown the film to anyone then how can there be a review? Don’t play it around so much that it becomes completely unbelievable.)”
The fake Twitter accounts drew attention on the social media as they claimed to give the review of the film. However, the situation turned serious when clips from the movie and screenshots started surfacing during the day. However, as the incident made headlines, many such tweets and fake Twitter accounts were deleted soon after. While film piracy is a widespread problem in the country, this seems to be a new trouble for the makers. Just a few weeks ago, Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar’s 2.0 was leaked by piracy website Tamilrockers on the day of its release.
