At the event, he said, “Thankfully, Torrent is no more I believe. It has been banned. Now you cannot get cinema free of charge. You cannot download it… But you cannot stop tech. In the 1970s or the 1980s, we had the VHS. You couldn’t stop it. That’s why actors know our films were popular in Pakistan. Films used to release in Pakistan the day they released in India. But that’s technology and you cannot do anything about it.”

This year saw many movies like ‘Great Grand Masti’, ‘Udta Punjab’ getting leaked online.
