Bollywood makers to take action after film’s pirated copy screened in gov't-run bus

Just three days into it nationwide release, and ‘Aiyaary’ has already found itself tangled in the piracy web. This came to light when commuters travelling by a government-run Shivneri bus from Mumbai to Pune, took offence and shared videos and photos of the film being screened.

Aghast at the reports the film’s producer Jayantilal Gada vowed to take action and expressed his shock questioning how a government-run division could make such a mistake and give way to piracy.

Reports allege that this, however, is not an isolated case as one of the frequent commuters on the route claimed that many other new releases are also telecasted in the bus, but not many complain.

Meanwhile, ‘Aiyaary’ which has been directed by Neeraj Pandey, is performing fairly well at the domestic box-office with a total of Rs 11.75 crore in its kitty recorded thus far.
