Khushbu 's audio leak tape : A look at `leakages'

Khushbu 's telephonic conversation within a TV producer's group found it's way to the social media. Here she is asking the producer's to be alert as the media is looking for news and might click pixs at the shooting spot. TV producer's started their shoot  after agreeing  to guidelines laid by State Government. The tome in which she spoke sounded like - keep those nosy xxxx out of the picture. Anyway, she apologized saying that it was a talk among peers and not for a broadcast and went back to 34 years of her public life and respect shown to media. This leaking of media ( she says selected leakage and it makes it even thrilling as to what other juicy details were omitted). This leakages are often done with the connivance of the subjects in the content and sometimes to settle scores.
Anyway, if wash room talk in preview theaters among film journalists are recorded and  leaked, many would not be able to face those whom they call Thalaivaa, Madam, Boss and so on.
 In the days when there was no mobile phones, it was landlines or over hearing and phone cross talk that did the damage. After mobile phones came, the route was put it on conferencing and talk  as recording had not come' 

This behind the back talk has played havoc in Kollywood. It is said in hushed tones that Sivaji Ganesan swore not to ever set his foot on the soil of Nadigar Sangham after he heard a close buddy and `glass' mate - actor  of him  saying something nasty behind his back at a session in the Sangham. The buddy thought that Sivaji had left the room. The buddy and regular sidekick of Sivaji faded into oblivion. It is not film folk who alone did the mischief. A journalist is credited to having created a misunderstanding within  Sivaji family and another who was gifted a costly bike called Sivaji a stingy xxx for not buying him a new Tyre, a year later.

A very big movie empire with sons and grandsons living under one roof  saw the family  split after a lady member of the household picked up an extension phone and heard some unsavory comments coming from her hubby's  brother. The houses that had no compound walls started to be build. It further split leading to division of property and many embarrassing moments like a crew working in the studio given a bill for panning a shot of a structure owned by another brother in the same studio.

Sometime back  a video clip from a phone of a celeb ( who was stone drunk ) found it's way to another  celeb.who put it out on social media and created a storm.As it involved quite a lot of big names, the person who `leaked' the content was said to be a mental patient( maybe the illness was all about hacking phones and putting it on the net). Morphed pictures and videos do get circulated. When we get scenes of doctors and nurses in PPE gear, we also get on net the videos and snaps of actresses spending Lockdown by taking photos of themselves clad in dresses that look like handkerchief made  into bra and panties. 

The most baffling `leakages' are of scenes of blockbusters under shooting. We are told that the entire crew and cast went into a tizzy after these shooting spot scenes were put on the net. The best part is that these scenes were shot in locales abroad or within four walls of a studio covered by security systems. So it has now become predictable as part of film promo. Poster release and motion poster release, First look and several looks, Final look, single audio track and more singles lyric track, minimum of two leaked scenes, audio release and then final look. A few tweet war between fans is pre-production promo. As soon as first reel is over, tweets about what a great film it is all about  and so on and by midnight the movie trackers have put the movie in the Rs 200 cr FDFS Worldwide club ( figures from Papa New Guinea are also included).

I am now interested in tracking this mysterious person behind the leak whom Khushbhu says will get similarly get stabbed in the back and despite all the efforts, she will continue to be in limelight. This mystery person who she says is in the shadows has to be found as it is important we give some non Covid  news to take their minds off the epidemic..
