Every year during Eid, superstar Shakib Khan's films are released to much fanfare.On the day of Eid, the film "Borbaad", directed by Mehedi Hasan Hridoy and starring Shakib Khan, was released. Since the teaser was unveiled, audiences had been eagerly anticipating its arrival.
On its opening day, "Borbaad" sparked significant discussion; however,reports indicate that the film was pirated immediately after its release. In response to this incident, the film's director, Mehedi Hasan Hridoy, and producer, Shahreen Akter Sumi, visited Gulshan Police Station.

Meanwhile, on the day of the release, the "Borbaad" team issued a statement urging audiences to watch the film on the big screen and refrain from piracy, emphasising the importance of respecting art and artistes. "The film has been created through the hard work and creativity of countless crew members. A single moment of piracy could 'ruin' the entire team's efforts. Piracy or unauthorised sharing of clips is not only illegal but also a sign of disregard for the industry," they stated.
The team further appealed, "Let us be responsible viewers – experience the true essence of "Borbaad" on the big screen and respect cinema. Avoid recording or engaging in piracy of any kind."
The "Borbaad" team also mentioned that they had already detected multiple pirated clips, which posed a serious threat to their film. Consequently, they felt compelled to pursue legal action.
