Baahubali-2, is a sequel to the multilingual blockbuster movie Baahubali: The Beginning, released worldwide in 2015.

On Tuesday evening, producer Y Shobhanadri, lodged a complaint alleging that he saw video clippings of Baahubali-2 footage on YouTube and asked his team to find out how it happened.

After looking at the five minute video footage being streamed on YouTube, the producer realised that it could have only been stolen from Annapurna Studios, where the footage was given for design work.
