'RC 15': Makers of Ram Charan's film issue anti-piracy statement
What's the story
Ram Charan is currently in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, shooting for his next, RC 15. The team will be stationed there for a fortnight. Since the filming is taking place in an open space, its makers have issued a strong statement asking everyone to "maintain restraint" and not click any photos or videos and post those on social media. They added violators will face action.
Context
Why does this story matter?
When any movie is shot in an open area, onlookers take pictures/videos of the filming process and post them online. This, at times, gives out spoilers with regards to actors' looks and/or a co-actor whose appearance the makers want to keep a secret until the film premieres. But a statement like this has hardly been issued earlier. So, it is definitely a welcome move.

We request everyone avoid posting shooting pictures and videos taken illegally." "Our anti-piracy team will be taking action against ids posting the unauthorized content (sic)," the statement added.
