RK Selvamani, president of the Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI), has condemned the leak of Vijay's unreleased film 'Jana Nayagan,' calling it a 'systemic failure' that has caused a loss of ₹500 crore (approximately $60 million USD). He emphasized that this situation reflects a significant flaw in the film industry's operational processes, particularly in the certification timeline, which has made it easier for piracy to thrive. Selvamani echoed Kamal Haasan's sentiments that the leak is akin to a major bank heist, noting that if ₹500 crore were stolen from the Reserve Bank, it would provoke national outrage. He criticized the lack of swift government action against such crimes, stating that while Hollywood swiftly addresses similar leaks, Indian films suffer without accountability. The Tamil Nadu cybercrime wing has arrested six individuals in connection with the leak, which occurred on April 9, prior to the film's official release. The arrests were made under various legal provisions aimed at combating piracy and protecting intellectual property rights.
