Founded in Tamil Nadu around 2011, Tamilrockers began as a bootleg recording network. The website was reportedly started by four friends, with one of them, named Prabhu, providing the initial funding and designing the website, while the others were responsible for uploading new content. It quickly evolved into a major public torrent site. It was initially used to link to pirated copies of Tamil movies, but its popularity soon forced it to expand its offerings dramatically.
