Following the net leak of ‘Jana Nayagan,’ the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) has sent a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling for stringent motion against piracy. The body’s secretary highlighted that delays within the film certification process make movies more vulnerable to piracy and online leaks.
IMPPA Writes Letter To PM After Jana Nayagan Leak
Of their letter dated April 11, IMPPA emphasised the urgent need for stronger measures against individuals and platforms facilitating piracy. Anil Nagrath, Secretary of IMPPA, chatting with Mid-Day, said, “Platforms like Telegram, torrent web sites, and illegal portals like Tamilrockers are still operating. If the federal government has banned 36 porn sites and other digital platforms, why doesn’t it ensure your complete apparatus of piracy is taken down too?”
Nagrath also identified that ‘Jana Nayagan,’ directed by H Vinoth, couldn’t meet its scheduled release date of January 9 since it was stuck on the certification stage. “The CBFC referred it to the Revising Committee. Earlier, producers could go to the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal [FCAT], but the federal government shut it down. The fate of Jana Nayagan has been hanging, while scenes from the film, which has been in CBFC’s possession, have leaked online. While I’m not making a direct allegation [against the CBFC], it amounts to this only. We’re unable to tackle the issue of piracy. Producers are significant contributors to the PM’s Make in India initiative. Why not help us too? The federal government should find the culprits and put them in jail.”
The links hosting the leaked content have since been taken down.
