AAP MP Raghav Chadha raised the issue of film piracy in the Parliament. Rajya Sabha Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar gave a witty reply to his proposal and said that he has gained a lot of experience and stated that the MP has known much about the film industry recently.  Raghav’s wife and actress Parineeti Chopra gave him a shoutout for the same and said that he is a star. While giving a speech in the Parliament, Raghav said “Sir, as we all know, piracy is a plague that's all-pervasive, not just in the cinema industry today, but also in the OTT platform world. Sir, piracy and unauthorised reproduction of copyright content has led to an annual loss of ₹20,000 crore in the film industry and the OTT industry. And there has been a 62% increase in piracy incidents during the pandemic alone.” 

He continued, “Through you sir, I'd like to ask the honourable minister that the Cinematography Bill that was passed in this House last year, which largely deals with anti-camera recording of films etc in theatres, is the Government of India today planning to amend the Cinematography Bill or come out with a separate mechanism to deal with the piracy in OTT platforms that is also becoming widespread.”

“Because of this unauthorised reproduction, years and years of hard work of artistes goes down down the drain. So I'd really urge through you to the Minister to come up with an institutional mechanism to deal with this piracy,” he added. 

Sharing the speech on her Instagram stories, Parineeti wrote, “What do I say about him. You're a star for raising this important issue in Parliament, my love (king emoji).”
