Graphic designer arrested after scenes from Baahubali 2 get leaked online

A graphic designer working for SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2 has been arrested in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh for allegedly ‘leaking’ nine minutes of footage from the upcoming film.

The designer was arrested after a complaint was filed at the Jubilee Hills police station in Hyderabad by S S Rajamouli, the director of the film.

This is not the first time that scenes from Baahubali 2 has been leaked. Infact, in September this year, unauthorised pictures from the filming of Baahubali 2 in Rayalseema, Andhra Pradesh, went viral, despite director Rajamouli having banned mobile phones on set.
