Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam-starrer Kaabil has been leaked online. This could  damage the box-office returns of the film.

Producer papa Rakesh Roshan has now yet another obstacle in his way.  After reports that exhibitors had given 60 screens to Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees for
every 40 seats they gave to Kaabil, Rakesh Roshan got livid and threatened to stop making films altogether.   Regarding film piracy and its effect on box-office returns, the Bollywood industry has been worried for quite some time.

The CBFC’s chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani warns that Dubai is the new hub for piracy of Bollywood films. “Direct import from Pakistan into India is prohibited. Since movies are exported and imported between India and Pakistan through Dubai, a lot of the piracy is done in Dubai. Earlier the CBFC was blamed for piracy. But it’s been proven beyond doubt that the censor board has nothing to do with piracy. The menace needs to be checked at the post-production stage of films and when films travel to Dubai.”

In the meanwhile Bollywood film producers, already hit hard by demonetization, are looking with renewed terror at the damage perpetrated by film piracy.
