An investigation against unauthrorised distribution was launched by the authorities and legal action was taken against it under various cyber laws.
Massive Piracy Threatens Chhaava
Despite being one of the biggest hit of 2025, Chhaava has fallen prey to large scale piracy. The film had been released on February 14 and earned a total Rs.680 crores but even after such massive hit the movie was illegally uploaded across several digital platforms, allowing viewers to access it illegally for free. This has raised serious concerns for filmmakers and industry professionals regarding cyber crime.

As per ETimes reports, August Entertainment Pvt. Ltd registered a formal complaint about the release of Chhaava. Rajat Rahul Haksar, the CEO of the anti-piracy agency, brought the massive leak to the notice of authorities. The case is currently being investigated by the South Cyber Police, who have invoked the Copyright Act, Cinematograph Act and IT Act to trace the culprits.
