Actor Soori has made an emotional plea against piracy, calling it not just illegal, but a betrayal of humanity. His film Maaman recently hit screens, and the comedian-turned-hero took to social media to speak out strongly.
In a heartfelt message, Soori said, “A film is not just entertainment—it is the dream and hard work of many people.” He compared movie-making to giving birth, saying each stage—story, filming, editing, music, and promotion—comes with emotion and determination.
Soori explained that the success or failure of a movie is only part of its journey, which is filled with both pain and hope. He added that when people watch pirated versions, it destroys years of hard work in exchange for a single illegal view.
He also highlighted that movies often reflect real lives and spread important messages. “Piracy shows no respect for this selfless effort. It is an act of abandoning humanity,” he said.
Urging audiences to watch movies legally, he concluded, “Your support is the greatest reward. Be responsible. Help the film industry grow. #SayNoToPiracy #RespectOthersEfforts.”
Soori’s heartfelt message has gained support from many fans and fellow artists online.
