Director Hari and actor Suriya are eagerly awaiting the audience response to C3, the third installment in the Singam franchise. With the film releasing on Thursday, Hari has come out with a heartfelt request to curb piracy.

The director asked people involved in online and other means of piracy to refrain from doing it, because it was only when film fans watched movies in theatres that producers benefitted. Hari pointed out that it was rampant piracy that had forced several producers out of the field because they are unable to fight against it.

Asking those involved in piracy what they got out of it, Hari told them they would understand the implications to the entertainment industry if they only mulled over it for ten minutes. With Hari’s request going viral, everyone is eagerly waiting to see if the film stays restricted to theatres or turns up elsewhere.

C3 is directed by Hari and stars Suriya, Anushka and Shruti Haasan. The film has been jointly produced by KE Gnanavel Raja and Dhaval Jayantilal Gada under their respective banners, Studio Green and Pen Movies. Harris Jayaraj has composed music for this action – romance entertainer.
