On Tuesday night, social media was abuzz with news of Emraan Hashmi-starrer '<a href="http://www.mid-day.com/search/raaz-reboot_articles" target="_blank">Raaz Reboot</a>' being leaked online.
A few tweets by Emraan himself and the makers about ditching the pirated copy and watching the film &ldquo;only in theatres&rdquo; added to the drama. But, those who frequent torrent sites couldn&rsquo;t find the horror movie, fourth instalment in the Raaz franchise, available for download.
Turns out, a few well-wishers went overboard in forewarning Emraan &mdash; the so-called leak was nothing short of a big hoax. Apparently, it was only a clip from the movie that was circulating online. And trust social media users to be ruthless when they feel cheated. Netizens started trolling the makers for what they labelled a &lsquo;publicity gimmick&rsquo;.
One user posted, &ldquo;&lsquo;#RaazRebootLeaked must be a rumour spread by makers themselves to mislead people into thinking that there are some people interested in seeing it.&rdquo;
Another tweet read, &ldquo;Promotion ke Liye Saala Kuch bhi Karega. Not a single working link. Sab ki sab Fake&rdquo; while one more tweeted, &ldquo;If it&rsquo;s a marketing gimmick, (that&rsquo;s) so sad, makers; playing with emotions just for visibility/ attention.&rdquo;

Director Vikram Bhatt chose to stay mum. When we reached out to producer Mukesh Bhatt, he retorted, &ldquo;I got an asthma attack because of the fear of the film being leaked. Do you think we would resort to such cheap tricks? A producer can even die if his film is leaked online. Only a twisted mind can think that this is marketing gimmick. Why would we incur losses?&rdquo;
