Papanasam which is the official remake of Malayalam Drishyam, is directed by Jeethu Joesph and stars Kamal Haasan and Gautami. Just like in Malayalam, the film has become a super hit in Tamil as well.

As per recent reports, the theatre print of the film has been uploaded along with subtitles on a website. Sources say that the director of the film, Jeethu Joseph who is upset with the issue has expressed to the media that the such acts of the miscreants are so cruel to the cine industry.The upset director also added that despite steps being taken to block such websites, other new websites keep popping up.

Meanwhile, the release of Premam's pirated copy released on internet along with the censor copy has shaken the Malayalam cine industry. The film was widely circulated by movie-pirates and so the producer of the blockbuster hit, Anwar Rasheed, is fighting against piracy with the help of the Cyber Cell. The film maker who is agitated with the inability of the associations to curb such crimes has announced that he will be resigning from the film technician’s forum FEFKA, Producer's Association and Distributors’ Association.
