Shortly afterwards she tweeted again.

“Sad to c the hardwork of so many ppl bein watched in such pathetic quality! Pls enjoy films in cinemas #SayNoToPiracy,” Ms Sanon wrote.

It was accompanied by another picture of the passenger, who appeared to be enjoying the movie.

A third tweet followed, in response to a user who said that watching pirated movies was a criminal offence.

“Yup..told him politely tht he would enjoy the film more in a theatre. but he was busy showin off his projector!,” she wrote, this time including two angry emoji faces.
