"I've been traveling to Toronto and then to Ahmedabad, so I'm not aware of the full situation. However it's a scary and sobering thought that films have been going out for piracy from the lab.
I'm glad they were caught out when my film was smuggled out.We don't know the extent of the damage. I can only be thankful my masterprint was retrieved. Just how many copies were made we don't know. "
Choosing to see the lighter side of the extremely grim situation Ashutosh says, "I hope the pirates didn't cut the film. I don't want them to watch an incomplete film."
