Film-maker Onir has revealed that his Instagram account is hacked and he is yet to regain control over the page . In a Twitter post on Friday, the director said it has been 48 hours since his handle on the photo-video sharing platform was compromised.

"Been more than 48 hours since my Instagram has been hacked. At least I am back on Twitter after 24 hours, thanks to @TwitterSupport but @instagram @Meta seems to take ages to act in spite of me sending all verification details," the 52-year-old helmer wrote.

On Thursday, the filmmaker had tweeted that his Twitter account was hacked and it took him 24 hours to get it back.


In a follow up Tweet, Onir had asked his followers to not reply to any direct messages from his Instagram account as it was compromised.
