What does this mean for the film's business?
The leak will certainly take a hit on the film's collection and will at least cost the makers a few crores.
The craze for 'Sanju' is such that many fans will end up watching it online out of sheer excitement.
Also, there is a section that always prefers watching the pirated version of the movies as it is available free of cost.
Context
Ranbir fans urge people to watch 'Sanju' in theatres
As soon as the news of the leak spread on Twitter, hosts of Ranbir supporters appealed other users to not watch the pirated version.
"Don't share its torrent links guys. Say no to piracy," wrote one of the superstar's die-hard fans.
Another said, "CBFC has objection over the 'toilet leakage scene' but no one actually has the problem when the movie is leaked. WHY?"

Salman Khan's 'Race 3' also fell prey to piracy
Something similar had happened with Salman Khan's big-ticket Eid release 'Race 3'. The Remo D'Souza directorial was leaked on Facebook a couple days after its release. The link was then shared in over thousands of groups and pages on the social-networking website.
