Nepali Film ‘Batulo Jun’ Approaches Cyber Bureau Over Unauthorized Social Media Leaks
Producer Jiya KC of the Anmol KC-starrer ‘Batulo Jun’ has filed a Cyber Bureau complaint after unauthorized clips from the newly released Nepali movie leaked on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
The makers of the newly released Nepali film Batulo Jun have formally approached the Nepal Police Cyber Bureau after unauthorized clips from the movie surfaced across multiple social media platforms shortly after its theatrical release.
Producer Jiya KC lodged the official complaint against several social media users, alleging that scenes from the film were illegally recorded inside cinema halls and uploaded online without permission.

Following the film’s release on Thursday, November 12, 2026, key scenes and video snippets began circulating widely on major digital platforms, including:

About ‘Batulo Jun’
Produced under the banner of Sunrise Pictures Pvt. Ltd., Batulo Jun is one of the prominent Nepali releases of the season, featuring popular actor Anmol KC in the lead role alongside Princy Khatiwada and Bhuwan KC. While the movie has drawn significant audience interest in theaters following its debut, the rapid spread of pirated clips online has raised serious concerns for the production house.
Growing Threat of Theater Piracy in Nepali Cinema
The incident involving Batulo Jun highlights an ongoing challenge facing the Nepali film industry: audiences recording segments of movies on smartphones inside theaters and sharing them on short-form video platforms.
Film producers and industry stakeholders have repeatedly warned that such acts of digital piracy not only spoil the viewing experience for theatergoers, particularly when climax scenes or major plot twists are leaked, but also directly impact box office collections. Under Nepal’s copyright and electronic transaction laws, recording and distributing copyrighted cinema content without authorization is a punishable offense.
