Mammootty starrer Mamangam leaked online, FIR filed

As Mammootty's war drama Mamangam finds its way to the internet, police in Thiruvananthapuram have lodged an anti-piracy case against the accused.

Mumbai: South superstar Mammootty's magnum opus titled Mamangam has recently been leaked on the internet.

The Ernakulam police in Thiruvananthapuram have registered an anti-piracy case on Sunday against those who are alleged to have illegally uploaded the superstar's film.

Billed as the biggest Malayalam film in terms of the budget and expense in recent times, the project showcases the martial art of Kalaripayattu.

The war drama was released last week in India and abroad.

"We had commissioned a team of 30 members who have now found out that the film has been uploaded to the internet. The details of all those who have done it have also been given to the police," said an official attached to the film.

This film chronicles the 18th-century Mamangam festival held on the banks of the river Bharathappuzha in the Malabar region.
