Pirates of Bollywood have producers running for cover
Hindi film producers are increasingly seeking insurance against piracy-related losses, especially for big-budget films, due to significant financial setbacks. Insurers are hesitant to underwrite this risk because quantifying piracy losses is challenging. While some advocate for stricter anti-piracy laws, others believe insurance could make producers complacent, adding to existing funding challenges within the industry. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Hindi film producers are increasingly seeking insurance protection against piracy-related losses, particularly for big-budget films, amid reports of significant piracy losses. However, insurers are hesitant to underwrite the risk, industry insiders issue of piracy has come into focus following reports that producer Sajid Nadiadwala suffered estimated losses of ₹91 crore due to a leak of Salman Khan-starrer Sikandar, which was released in film is insured for standard production and liability risks with New India Assurance , people aware of the matter said. However, losses due to unauthorised copying and distribution are not standard inclusions, they noted."Studios working on high-budget releases have approached us for piracy cover, particularly during the final edit and digital transfer stages," said Sumant Salian, business head of media and entertainment at Alliance Insurance Brokers. "The fear of content leaks before release is growing."According to a recent Media Partners Asia report, if piracy remains unchecked, revenue losses of the digital video industry in India are likely to double to $2.4 billion, or about ₹20,565.5 crore, by 2029 from $1.2 billion in 2024."Piracy continues to impact revenues. It is crucial that producers put in an explicit clause covering anti-piracy losses and enforcement costs while opting for film distribution insurance ," said Suniel Wadhwa, a veteran film distributor. "There are discussions going on between producers and insurance companies to obtain cover for film piracy," he while the demand for piracy cover is both legitimate and increasingly urgent, insurers face significant hurdles in addressing it. For one, it is difficult to quantify losses due to piracy, they said."There is demand for piracy cover, especially after the piracy of Hindi films such as Double Dhamaal (2011) and Udta Punjab (2016). But insurers are reluctant to underwrite first-party piracy risk, as it is difficult to quantify and prove losses," a senior executive at an insurance broker said, requesting anonymity. "Unless a policy is explicitly structured to protect a producer from film piracy and associated losses, an insurance company would not respond," the executive producers believe that they should combat piracy through systemic changes rather than relying on piracy insurance coverage."I think we need to fight piracy by bringing in stringent laws instead of recovering losses from piracy cover. Piracy is deeply entrenched... I think a piracy cover will make producers complacent," producer Rajesh R Nair said. "Also, a piracy cover is an additional cost to producers at a time when there are funding challenges. Granting the industry 'industry' status can eradicate these problems," he added."Pirates typically target big films," Nair India, the film industry typically relies on two main types of insurance - for production and distribution. Film production insurance typically covers delays, cast or crew illness, equipment damage, and liability under errors and omissions (E&O) policies. Film distribution insurance, on the other hand, protects against damage or loss of film prints or digital masters, delays in theatrical releases, business interruptions, and losses arising from leaks or piracy before release or during the early stages of digital roll-out.

Actor Vikrant Massey is set to star in a romantic drama along with debutant Shanaya Kapoor in the film titled 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan'. Although known for films like '12th Fail' and 'The Sabarmati Report', the actor Massey feels that this romantic drama is his debut film in Hindi cinema, as he has never done a movie of this genre before. Actor Vikrant Massey is set to star in a romantic drama along with debutant Shanaya Kapoor in the film titled 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan'. Although known for films like '12th Fail' and 'The Sabarmati Report', the actor Massey feels that this romantic drama is his debut film in Hindi cinema, as he has never done a movie of this genre before. The makers have released the trailer of the film at the 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' trailer launch event in Mumbai on Tuesday. While interacting with the media at the launch event, Massey confessed that he is feeling "nervous" ahead of the film's release, calling it a "debut" movie of his career. "I am very nervous because somewhere I feel like it's my debut film because I have never done a film of this genre," said Vikrant Massey at the trailer launch event of the film. The actor also opened up on the lack of romantic movies in his diverse filmography. Massey admitted that he didn't have the courage before 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' to step into the romantic genre as he always wanted to stay in his comfort zone. "I didn't have the courage to be very honest. When I started my career, the kind of films I watched and decided to become an actor were always a little offbeat. But as my career progressed, no impressive, romantic films came. Only run-of-the-mill stories kept coming," said Massey. Saying yes to 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' was a well-planned move by the Massey, saying it was a way for him to step out of his comfort zone and challenge himself. "Finally, I thought that it's enough to stay in my comfort space. Now I'll have to challenge myself, and when Mansi (Scriptwriter of the movie) brought this script with Varun (film's producer), I felt this is the right script for me to do right now at the right time in my career," added Vikrant Massey. On Tuesday, the film's trailer was unveiled, giving a glimpse of Shanaya and Vikrant's love story. In addition to their performances, the film's impact and appeal are enhanced manifold by its soulful musical score, lent by Vishal Mishra . It is reportedly based on Ruskin Bond's short story titled The Eyes Have It. 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' is directed by Santosh Singh and is produced under the banner Mini Films. The film is set to release in theatres on July 11.
