Mumbai, Jun 18: Actor Irrfan Khan says film fraternity needs to stand together against piracy.

The 49-year-old "Piku" star says many other films have been the victim of piracy in the past and source of the leak is probably the same.

Irrfan"Such cases (online leaks) have happened in past as well. Industry should come together to fight against this. I feel the source of all these leaks is same," Irrfan told reporters.

The recent victim of piracy was controversy-laden film "Udta Punjab", which hit the theaters today. The Abhishek Chaubey-directed film was leaked online two days prior to its release.

However, the "Jazbaa" actor says it will hardly effect the business of the movie.

"I think the leak will hardly effect 'Udta Punjab' as the hype around the movie is really great," he added.

Irrfan is the newest addition to the array of Bollywood celebrities, who have raised their voice against piracy.

Actor Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif have also slammed such actions and have urged fans to watch the film only in theaters.

Los Angeles, Jul 20: Hollywood stars Robert Downey Jr and Tom Holland have joined their "Avengers: Endgame" co-star Chris Evans in sending sweet messages to a young boy who saved his sister from a dog attack.

Six-year-old Bridger saved his four-year-old sister on July 9 by standing between her and a charging dog.

According to Nicole Noel Walker, his aunt, the child received 90 stitches after getting bitten by the canine.

After Walker reached out to the Avengers team through an Instagram post, Evans, in a video message, promised to send Bridger, an avid Avengers fan, "an authentic Captain America shield".

Now the 'Iron-Man' star promised he will gift Bridger something "special" on his next birthday.

"Bridger, you're a rockstar. I hear (Captain America) sent a shield your way. I'm gonna do one better, you call me on your next birthday. I got something special for you. By the way, that's a promise. A promise beats a shield," Downey Jr said.

Holland, meanwhile, spoke to Bridger on a video call and invited him to come to the sets of the next "Spider-Man" film.

"If you ever want to come to set and hang out, and see the Spider-Man suit up close, and hang out with us, you're always welcome. I want to say you are so brave, mate. We are all so proud of you, and your little sister is so lucky to have someone like you," he added.

Other Marvel stars Mark Ruffalo and Brie Larson, Hollywood star Anne Hathaway, "The Flash" series stars Grant Gustin and Robbie Amell also praised Bridger's bravery.
