This is so unfortunate! The teaser looked amazing and now this theft right before release? Hope they had backups. Our film industry needs better security for digital assets. The VFX team must have worked so hard 😔

The cast looks stellar with Akshay Kumar as Shiva and Prabhas as Rudra! 🔥 But seriously, who steals a hard drive? This seems suspicious - maybe corporate espionage? Hope police investigate properly.

As someone working in IT, I'm shocked they didn't have cloud backups. In 2024, keeping crucial data only on physical drives is irresponsible. Hope this serves as a lesson to all production houses.

With such a big star cast, security should have been tighter. This smells like an inside job. Police should check disgruntled employees first. The film's success is important for Telugu cinema's global reach.

The combination of Mohanlal, Prabhas and Akshay Kumar is dream casting! 😍 Hope the thieves are caught soon. Maybe they wanted to leak the visuals online? These days piracy starts even before release!
