Check out his tweet below:

Sanjay Gupta, director of Kaabil told the tabloid, "Rampant piracy doesn't exist in the South since they have taken a united stand against the problem. Bollywood is far from united."

He further spoke about how Rakesh Roshan had to handle to take steps to avoid illegal sharing of film. Gupta added, "He endured torture and agony. With help from private companies hired to monitor piracy, Rakeshji had taken over 3,400 websites where the film was illegally available within the first three days of its release."

Subhash Kapoor's Jolly LLB is in the third position to get pirated. He said, "Whether it is the government or the producers' bodies that need to act, they're not doing enough. We need comprehensive policy introduced by the government. They don't understand the seriousness of the situation, and how it's harming the industry."
