The moviemakers in the industry have been trying to battle hard with piracy but to no avail. For anyone who watched the movies on the pirated CD’s or downloads the movie he is very well aware that just a day after the release of the movie they will have those pirated and illegal copies with them. However, with no rules in place everybody seems to be getting away with the act.

Now for a director it there cannot be a bigger nightmare coming true than to hear that the master print of his movie has been stolen and that too from the editing labs. If the prints somehow are converted into a disc or the digital files are uploaded on the internet, it may very well spell doomsday for the movie and the box office collections. Ashutosh Gowariker was in for a scare when the prints of his movie What’s Your Raashee? were reportedly stolen.

However, the people who were smuggling the prints out of the labs were caught just in the nick of time to prevent unrecoverable damage. Ashu is still worried but he manages to keep a smiling face and even managed to crack a joke saying that he hopes that they did not edit the movie from the master print, as he wants the audiences to catch a complete movie.

He had to shuffle back and forth between Toronto and Canada to see that the problem gets resolved and it is handles and taken care of. With the state of technology it time better protection steps are taken to prevent piracy of movies and music.
