In a scathing critique, Kamal Haasan has condemned the online piracy of Vijay’s blockbuster ‘Jana Nayakan’, attributing it squarely to bureaucratic inefficiencies in film certification. The multilingual star took to X to voice his frustration, urging immediate reforms to safeguard the film fraternity.
‘Jana Nayakan’s leak is the result of complete system failure, not mere chance,’ Kamal posted. He detailed how excessive delays in obtaining certification certificates opened doors for pirates, stressing that timely legal processes could have prevented this catastrophe.
Delving deeper, Kamal explained piracy’s devastating ripple effects. It steals the sweat of countless artists, technicians, and crew members while jeopardizing investments from producers and theater chains. These stakeholders, he noted, are the lifeblood of the cinema we cherish, contributing through honest taxes and dedication.
‘Piracy transcends politics—it’s a direct assault on creativity,’ he declared. Raising pointed questions, Kamal asked, ‘Who stands up for creators when systems collapse?’ His solutions were clear: expedite certification, enact tougher anti-piracy laws, ensure instant takedowns of illegal streams, and enforce accountability across the board.
Kamal rallied his followers with optimism: ‘Cinema lovers, let’s fill theaters and defeat piracy together, as you’ve always supported me.’
This incident has sparked a chorus of condemnation from across South Indian cinema. Industry heavyweights, including Chiranjeevi, have joined the fray, highlighting the urgent need for a united front against digital theft that’s eroding profits and discouraging bold storytelling.
