The South Indian Film Editors Association president, Gopi, and the Film Employees Federation of South India (FEFSI) president, RK Selvamani, have denied editors' involvement in the Jana Nayagan leak.
According to news agency ANI, Gopi strongly denied any editor’s involvement in the leak of Jana Nayagan, stating that an internal inquiry had already been conducted by their team.
Given that six unnamed individuals have already been arrested so far and a report has already been filed, he added that ‘the main accused behind the alleged leak will be arrested soon.’
FEFSI president RK Selvamani also responded to allegations, saying that Director Ameer should retract his accusations against the editors and crew.
He also cautioned that such incidents will increase as digitalisation advances and piracy becomes a more significant issue in the film industry.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has also denied involvement in the Jana Nayagan leak, stating that access to the content is password-protected and the KDM remains solely with the producer/filmmaker.
