Munawar Faruqui strongly opposes film piracy
Comedian Munawar Faruqui, now starring in the new series First Copy, has a clear message: "Karna illegal hai aur dekhna bhi illegal hi hai" (Doing and watching both are illegal).
He's urging everyone to stick to legal streaming platforms to support the film industry.
'It's not just those uploading content...'
Faruqui's debut show First Copy dropped on June 20 and tells the story of Arif, who gets pulled into film piracy after facing humiliation at work.
While promoting the series, Faruqui pointed out that it's not just about those uploading pirated content—viewers also share responsibility.
He admits stopping leaks isn't easy but believes waiting for official releases helps filmmakers and crews.
Supporting legit platforms helps all stars
By calling out both piracy and watching pirated content as "illegal," Faruqui highlights how everyone plays a part in protecting movies.
Supporting legit platforms doesn't just help stars—it backs up all the people working behind the scenes too.
