Producer SR Prabhu, also the treasurer of the Tamilnadu Film Producers Council has said that they’re trying their maximum to bring piracy down in Kollywood.
During an interview to Behindwoods, the producer was asked about the industry’s control over piracy. He replied, “We are trying our maximum to bring down piracy in Tamil industry, but it has to be a joint effort. The government and the theatre owners must also actively stand against piracy. It’s usually the camera-shot prints that gets leaked soon. So it is the duty of the theatre owners to stop people from committing such crimes.
As far as Tamilrockers is concerned, we have reduced the website’s ad revenue to a great extent without our greatest efforts. But government should also effectively work in killing piracy and stop taking this issue lightly and considering it a soft crime.”
